The CP implored citizens of Edo State to repose a little more confidence in the Rule of Law and in the Law enforcement institutions.
He made this call today 28th of November 2022, following the death of a man, whose identity is yet unknown, in the hands of a mob on Sunday at Iyanamo Community, Off Ekehuan Army Barracks, Benin City.
