Yet Another Kidnapping In Benin - Oshiomhole Is Ineffective by spoOne: 2:24pm On Oct 07, 2009
The law abiding citizens of Edo State, specifically Benin are under siege by kidnappers, and the Oshiom Ole’s government has no real solution. . . just hot air. Can this so-called activist really govern? And why is the state Assembly not trying to impeach him for non-performance?

Edo NUJ condemns ITV GM’s abduction

By Gabriel Enogholase

BENIN—Edo State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ)  has condemned in strong terms the abduction, last weekend, of the General Manager of the Independent Television/Radio, Mr. Martins Ekpeh, as well as other cases of kidnapping in the state.

The union, in a statement in Benin yesterday, signed by its Secretary, Mr. Uchechukwu Olisah, observed that the security situation in the state whereby law abiding citizens or residents no longer go about their lawful duties freely or move freely within the ambit of the laws of the land, was very worrisome and counterproductive.

According the statement, “the siege which the people of Edo State have been subjected to in recent times by these agents of counter-culture, is even more disturbing, given the presence of the members of Edo State government’s elite anti-kidnapping/crime outfit named, “Operation Thunderstorm” in the state, particularly in Benin city, where most of the abductions have so far taken place.”

“The alarming rate of kidnapping and upsurge in other criminal activities in the state calls to question the effectiveness and efficiency of “Operation Thunderstorm”, which the state government is funding with the tax payers’ money, that is, the money of the people they are supposed to protect.

“Edo state government may wish, and it has the support of the Edo NUJ, to reorganize the Operation Thunderstorm for more effective, efficient and result-oriented performance, or even disband it, if the anti-kidnapping/crime outfit is not living to the noble ideals behind its establishment”. . . .

@$poOne- Do u really just sit down and wait to hear any news from Edo State and blame the Governor? What is it with u and this belly-aching? Did u apply for a job and couldnt get it or u get paid for this work? It baffles me why u would want to ascribe anything to non performance by comrade oshiomhole.
So if a man falls from a motorbike, it is comrade oshiomhole's fault?
Get a life!!!!

The quick answer to your dumb questions. . . YES I HAVE PERSONAL INTEREST IN EDO STATE
- No I don't really have to wait - Edo state currently leads the rest of the country in heinous crimes (Oshiom Ole's Government)
- Yes my belly aches for the state whenever one of her law-abiding citizens is kidnapped
- And yes the Governor first and foremost is responsible for the wellbeing of the citizens of the state, that includes protection of life and property, as required in the 1999 constitution.

I am sure you have other Cockamamie reasons why the governor should be absolved of all responsibility for the complete melt down of the state during his tenure.

As the executive governor  and "commander in chief" of Edo state, Oshiom Ole should take responsibility for a break down of law and order in the state, just like he will receive kudos if the state becomes a stable and safe place. He is not above reproach. He was not elected into that office so we all can come to NL and lavish praise on him as Ohisng does. And Ohisng are you paid to jump to his defence at the slightest opportunity. Will oxygen cease to go into your lungs if for once you chastise Oshim Ole or his government. Is your vision so blurred with psychological cataract that you tie every opponent of Oshiom Oles policies to the PDP? Grow up man.

This guy loves to get on the National scene with his megaphone and speaks of grandeur where there’s enough media, but delivers austerity in all aspects in his state.

Your grammar eludes me – nevertheless, I will take a crack at it.

He is not just “this man”, he’s the governor of a state that’s without any doubt, one of the worst thus far. And, he has done nothing to make the state safer for the citizens therein. Hope this help you see my gripe with “this man”.

Tell me you are kidding. . . yes?

Port Harcourt was once the capital of kidnappings - did the governor become a superman to curb it?
Lagos state, the most challenging state to govern by a long stretch - is Fashola a superman or magician to ensure the safety of the citizens of Lagos?

@ohisng and GEW

I will join your bandwagon if the current truce ( https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-334713.0.html ) is sustained by the Governor – people must feel safe in their state.

If the militants get out of line or renege on their promise, it is up to the governor to call in the JTF – positioned at all water ways into the state; at strategic locations within the cities; whatever it takes to ensure that Benin or any other main city in Edo state doesn’t become the backdrop of heinous crimes such as kidnapping.
