Edo State Commissioner of Police, DanMallam Muhammed, has said that the command gave All Progressives Congress Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, maximum protection when he visited the state recently.
To this end, the CP said the report that he was attacked was a lie.
There were reports that Oshiomhole, who is also the current governor Godwin Obaseki’s predecessor, was attacked, while his house was also said to have been attacked.
There has been no love lost between the two.
Muhammed, on Monday, debunked allegations of an attack on the former governor, warning troublemakers to steer clear of the state.
According to him, the Police beefed up security around the APC National Chairman while his visit to the State lasted, during which no attack was recorded.
“To the best of my knowledge, no one had access to the house of the National Chairman. When he came into the State, we beefed up security around him, from his house to the Oba’s palace, from there to the airport before he left for Abuja.
“Let me use this medium to warn trouble makers that Edo State is very peaceful and calm. The State is the most peaceful in the South-South Region of Nigeria. We will do everything according to the law to ensure that the peace the people of Edo State enjoy is not truncated and any attempt by anyone to cause trouble in the State will be resisted with maximum force,” he noted.
