Protesters storm Edo Government House with corpse of man killed by herdsmen
Residents of Ovia Northeast Local Government Area of Edo State stormed Government House, Benin, with the body of one of the seven persons killed in their area by criminal herdsmen. The protesters arrived at the government house where they gave Governor Godwin Obaseki a three-day ultimatum to ensure adequate security of lives and property.
They said they resorted to taking the body to the State’s Government House because when they reported to the police in their area, they were simply told to deposit the body in the morgue. The protesters said they had experienced frequent killing of innocent residents by herdsmen in the last few weeks. Seven persons were killed by criminal herdsmen in the farming communities of Ugboke, Oshodi, Okokodo, Ariyan and Yoruba camp in the LGA.
The leader of the protesters, Michael Idahosa, said residents of the affected communities could no longer bear the incessant attacks by the criminal herdsmen. He said: “We are here to protest the killings by herdsmen in our communities. Governor Godwin Obaseki came to Ovia Northeast LGA in 2017 when herdsmen killed one of our persons and he promised to tackle the problem of herdsmen in our area, but Edo State government did not address the issue.â€
Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, who received the protesters, reassured them that the state government would intensify efforts at providing adequate security to check the criminal activities of killer herdsmen in the state.
Shaibu said: “As a state, we have made up our mind not to lament, but to look for solutions on how to protect our country and our state.
“There was also an attack in the early hours of today in Niger State. It is a national problem. As we speak now, Governor Obaseki and other governors are in Abuja to discuss this insecurity issue in our country.
“You will remember that we are bringing in local vigilance members to collaborate with law enforcement agencies. We are strengthening our system and we will still need your support.
“We do not want to take laws into our own hands, but at the same time, we cannot fold our arms and watch the people kill us. Take it easy; some bodies are yet to be found, I have had a discussion with the security agencies. Their personnel will move into the area.
“I can assure you that they will recover bodies of all the victims and we will intensify the security in the area.
“We will categorise the area as one of the flashpoints in Edo State. So that you can sleep with your eyes closed.â€

Mike Echetama : Nollywood Actor & Lecturer In Alvan Dies
The Veteran Thespian and A Lecturer, Sir Mike Echetama Transitions Unto Eternity.
The sad news was confirmed to FradorMedia™ by Conac Umez (Turn by Turn), a former Chairman of Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, Imo State Chapter as we couldn’t get across to his wife, we were able to get on the phone with Conac Umez (a close confidant of Sir Mike) who confirmed the incident.
Another trusted source of ours, Mr. TLucky Chukwu, a one-time awardee as the “The Youngest Movie Producer†and also a one-time winner of Actor’s Guild of Nigeria, Imo State chapter’s general elections in 2017 as the PRO, alongside Sir Mike Echetama as the most favored contestant in the office of the State Chairman of the guild in the same election. Mr. Chukwu when contacted on phone,
My brother, it is true. He came to the Guild’s State general elections held on Saturday and was full of life, with no obvious symptom of ill-health, and left the same way. It was on Sunday night that he felt ill through Monday and before the family could get him to Federal Medical Center, Owerri, he already gave up the ghost.
Those were his words.
The Late veteran was a close confidant to the Late Sam Loco Efe of blessed memory. He had featured in numerous Nollywood movies. Sir Mike Echetama was a calm and collected gentleman, a man of peace and utmost decorum.
Worthy of note, is also the fact that he was a Senior Lecturer at the Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri. A married man with kids and a Catholic Knight.
