Uromi Massacre: I’ll Pay Full Compensation To Families Of Victims – Edo Governor by Kuginzi: 9:43pm On Mar 31
The Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, has assured the families of the 16 hunters killed in Uromi that he will provide full compensation for their loss.

Governor Okpebholo, accompanied by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other high-ranking dignitaries, paid a condolence visit to Torankawa in Bunkure Local Government Area. During the visit, he further pledged to support the bereaved families with cash and food donations.

Lamenting the killings of the innocent victims, Okpebholo, visibly angry, vowed in the village that the gruesome murders would not go unpunished.

“We will ensure that justice is served on those responsible for this heinous act,” he stated.

Meanwhile, hundreds of family members and supporters took to the streets in a peaceful protest, carrying placards with various inscriptions such as “We demand justice for the killings of our people,” “Hunters are not criminals,” and “We demand the speedy dispensation of justice in this matter.”

Protesters thronged the road leading to Torankawa village, voicing their demands. Many hunters, armed with their hunting weapons, joined the peaceful demonstration.

Similarly, other placards bore inscriptions such as “Killings in the North must stop,” “Northerners are peace-loving citizens,” and “Justice must prevail.”

Some hunters, visibly agitated, chanted war songs, brandishing weapons as the governor’s convoy passed, while local residents kept the situation under control.

Our representatives are the reason for these trash!
Same time, Fulani herders killed 10 or more than in plateau, it was swept under the carpet.
Recently, Fulani herders rampage in Enugu everybody becomes deaf and dumb.
True - true, we don't deserve each other.

It is welcome.

But the Northern governors and NEF should be held responsible for any attrocities committed by their people in the South.

They would pay endlessly for compensation.

With which money? How much do you earn as a public servant? Have you declared your assets?
How much revenue do you make monthly or quarterly from your private business, if you have any

Is it in the budget??

You had better delay it for months same way the government delayed NYSC alowee increment...all because it wasn't in the budget

Stealing is not only taking what's not yours. It's also giving what's not yours to give.

Robinhood politicians

https://www.nairaland.com/8306249/robinhood-ism

Using people's life to play politics. You're just scared. You're not in charge

In saner climes, most of you would have resigned for incompetence but no, you'll pay your way off.

Even. The people you're ruling over are too brain dead to do anything about it. They can only argue at newspaper stand.

What investigation did you do that shows they were really hunters?

Did you check the type of weapons they were seen with, do they coincide with hunting tools?

Mr Monday this partisan politicking don't use it to destroy Edo state, it will backfire.

How can we just conclude and agree that they were peaceful hunters?

We have bad police that collaborate with criminals even some soldiers have been seen selling guns to criminals, so why do we just believe that these men, unvetted , unknown, even when they claim to be hunters, can not be working with/for bandits and killer fulani herdsmen?

It is very dangerous the type of politicians we have, Edo state governor should be more critical and intelligent than this, he is acting scared.

COMRADES are speechless, compensation is not needed, can compensation brings back the lives of the slain victims? The answer is NO. What is needed now in Edo State is a state of emergency

Okpebholo is Esan. Uromi is also Esan.

why will he hate Uromi people?

Esan people insisted that "it is their turn".
