Incase you have not been following up with the UNIBEN students protest, see the last update of the University of Benin students protest here.

The leadership of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Edo State on Thursday accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of being behind the face-off between the Edo State government and students of the university of Benin, Benin City.

In a statement, the Chairman of APC in Edo, Mr Anselm Ojezua urged the Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Mr Foluso Adebanjo to apprehend the chairman of PDP Chief Dan Orbih, for allegedly instigating a faction of the Students Union of the University of Benin to destroy properties belonging to the state.

“We are aware that Mr Orbih and some leaders of the party sponsored a faction of the Students’ Union to commit arson, by setting fire to a property belonging to Edo State government.

“We are also aware of the plan by Mr Orbih and other leaders of the PDP to inject thugs into the ranks of the students of the university and unleash mayhem on unsuspecting members of the public and further commit heinous crimes all in the name of protest.

“We call on the Commissioner of Police, Edo State, to arrest and interrogate Mr Orbih and other PDP leaders for sponsoring arson and stop their further plan to create mayhem in the state.”

But, in his reaction, Chief Orbih said: “the protests by the University of Benin students have nothing to do with the PDP or Chief Orbih. We are yet to be informed why Governor Adams Oshiomhole decided to turn himself into a local court bailiff and personally execute the court judgment on appeal and Notice of Appeal duly served.

“It was the governor’s action that precipitated the crisis. So, the police should arrest the governor and others to account for his action in ordering the demolition of the University of Benin property,” he said
