Senator Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the upcoming Edo State governorship election on September 21, 2024, has vowed to seek justice for his police orderly, Inspector Akor Onu, who was tragically killed by suspected political thugs on Thursday.
Inspector Onu was attacked and killed shortly after leaving Benin airport, where he had accompanied Senator Okpebholo and reinstated Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu from Abuja. Senator Okpebholo condemned the brutal attack, labeling it as “cruel and violent.”
In his condolence message, Senator Okpebholo expressed deep sorrow and sympathy for Inspector Onu’s family and the injured members of his convoy, who are currently receiving treatment in various hospitals. He assured the grieving family that the killing of Inspector Onu would not go unpunished, promising to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. Okpebholo described Inspector Onu as a “good policeman” and a friend of over 12 years.
