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 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 and ers 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, ed 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 ed, while local residents kept the situation under control.

He could have even cried in Kano to show them how pained he is

Selfish politicians

Kudos

Let the healing process start from there

Mumu man, when your people were protesting against headers you were silent , now Dem don take laws to their hand , money wey you for provide security and compensate victims of Fulani attacks na u wan go dash strange people for innocent lives lost

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.

And how much compensation for your people killed and kidnapped by herdsmen

I spit on your stooge and weakling face

When kanu government will pay for damage of Edo people, the man need to remove.

I think this Edo governor hates the Uromi people. What part of Edo state is the governor from?

No problem Mr governor. But please,also to visit and compensate victims of Fulani herdsmen in your state.

Why are they pained? They have been doing this to Edo people no one or forum says anything about it

Hmm this governor shaa, you tire me.

This one has degree in asslicking.

E b lyk say Asslicking degree B. Sc.

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://nairaland.unblockandhide.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.

That’s what you call a Governor!

Not the furniture Rivers state people call Governor.

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.

Shameless governor

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and southwest

Southern governors are weak and useless

Governor with smelling pucci


Has any northern governor pay a dime for all the killings by blokos Haram, and Fulani herders?

Anything for PEACE !!!

It was a senseless killing .

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

Who will now pay all the communities killed by Fulani herdsmen?

Welcome to Nigeria where the life of a Fulani is more important than others

Zooposki:
I think this Edo governor hates the Uromi people. What part of Edo state is the governor from?

Okpebholo is Esan. Uromi is also Esan.

why will he hate Uromi people?

Esan people insisted that "it is their turn".

they are enjoying their turn

Coward Governor

Can you just imagine.

But the Fulani herdsmen that attack and kill people in your own state you do not sympathize with the victims and pay compensation to their families...it's a pity

Mumu governor, how much compensation have the Northerners paid for the massacre of your people and their farmlands?

Enwhen:



Mumu man, when your people were protesting against headers you were silent , now Dem don take laws to their hand , money wey you for provide security and compensate victims of Fulani attacks na u wan go dash strange people for innocent lives lost

No leader in the south. Just cowards. The last we had was Rotimi Akeredolu.

From your personal money abi ..Ozuor,Ewobi

Don't stop at that,use the full state treasury to place all northerners on allowance, they ought to be paid for hurting their feelings..Nu sa lua w'agbon
