Some members of the Labour Party (LP) in Edo State have protested the arrest of the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure.
Naija News earlier reported that Abure was arrested on Wednesday by the Police in Benin City, the Edo State capital. It was gathered that the LP chairman was apprehended over allegations of premeditated attempted murder and alleged financial infractions, amongst others. According to Arise News, Abure was arrested following a petition written by the party’s former Youth Leader, Eragbe Anselm Aphimia, to the Police. It is understood that Abure’s arrest comes just a day before the party’s primary election in Edo state. Speaking in a video, a chieftain of the party said Abure’s arrest was uncalled for, adding that the inhumane manner of the arrest is highly condemnable in a democratic society. He added that all the allegations levelled against the LP chairman were contrived by enemies of the party to ridicule him. See the video below.
