Former Edo State governorship aspirant Kenneth Imasuangbon and ADC chieftain Herberta Okonofua have filed a petition to the police and Department of State Services (DSS) regarding an alleged armed attack on their entourage in Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State. The incident occurred on October 6, 2026, during their political campaign.
The petitioners allege that ADC supporter Jerry Oliha suffered serious gunshot injuries and was hospitalized, while campaign materials were destroyed. They have requested a thorough investigation, including tracing the ownership and movements of two Sienna buses linked to the incident and determining if they were used to transport attackers.
Additionally, they seek to establish if Endurance Azemegbe, the Igueben Council Chairman, was involved in directing or facilitating the attack. The petitioners urge the security agencies to preserve and examine evidence and ensure adequate security for themselves and their supporters during lawful political activities.
