The Inpector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has suspended the activities of the state-owned Edo State Security Network (ESSN) set up by Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State 'till further notice.'

The IGP made the pronouncement at the ongoing stakeholders meeting on the Edo Governorship Election taking place in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

The meeting, organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is part of the schedule of activities leading to the September 21, 2024 election.

Ahead of the poll, there have been calls from various quarters for the disbandment of the ESSN over fears that they would serve as 'useful tools' in the hands of the governor against the opposition

Does he even understand the law? This guy behave like fool. Are you Edo State House of Assembly? When did the office of IG become lawmaker?

Unnecessary and useless headline.
