Social Media influencers release names and photos of APC-backed thugs involved in killing of police inspector in Edo state

Social media influencers have taken to various platforms to release names and photos of individuals allegedly involved in the recent killing of a police inspector in Edo State.

Inspector Akor Onu was shot dead by thugs at Airport Road, Benin City, shortly after the reinstated deputy governor of the state arrived from Abuja.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.

The influencers have accused several individuals, purportedly backed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), of being responsible for the crime.

The names and photos of the alleged perpetrators have been widely shared online to bring them to justice.

The individuals named include:

Aituayuwa Adun

Uba Emmanuel Ikheloa

Kelvin Osasere Ogiemwanye

Tony Adun (A.k.a Tony Kabaka) – APC youth leader

Kassey Chukwu

Uba Emmanuel Ikheloa (A.k.a Amenu)

Kelly Okungbowa (A.k.a Ebo Stone)

Ebozele Emmanuel (A.k.a Biggy)

Emmanuel Egogo

Eric Imariagbe (A.k.a Baroko)

The release of these names and photos follows a viral video posted by Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor, a political observer and social media influencer known as Ultimate Equal, who accused the APC in Edo State of orchestrating the murder.

In his video, Ultimate Equal called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

“I want to appeal to Godwin Obaseki, as the number one citizen of Edo State, that this crime is a crime against humanity. You must wake up and ensure that the trigger-lover who shot the police officer is found. We are not going to rest on this matter,” Eholor said.

The killing has further heightened tensions in the state, with calls for a thorough investigation and accountability for those involved.

The public release of the names and photos of the alleged perpetrators has intensified the demand for swift justice by residents.
