Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi, to immediately arrest and prosecute the President of the Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa, otherwise known as Black Axe, Olorogun Ese Kakor, for allegedly forging some official documents of the state government.

Governor Okpebholo, in a petition to the heads of the two security agencies, disclosed that some civil servants allegedly complicit in the crime have been arrested and being investigated to determine their level of culpability.

Meanwhile, the governor has also revoked the title of the land on which the NBM’s headquarters was erected in Edo State over the organisation’s alleged involvement in violent crimes and unlawful activities within the state.

A statement by the chief press secretary to Governor Okpebholo said his principal, in the petition, accused Kakor of forging government documents, which falsely claimed to authorise him to assist schools in Edo South Senatorial District, an act, he said, was not only fraudulent but a direct assault on the integrity of the state’s administrative processes.

Describing the act as “criminal and deceitful”, the governor said the alleged forgery was carried out in connivance with certain low-level civil servants within the state bureaucracy who have already been identified and taken into custody while a police investigation was underway to determine their level of involvement.

He vowed that all those found culpable would be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
Governor Okpebholo enjoined both the Nigeria Police Force and the DSS to intensify their efforts in curbing the operations of groups allegedly involved in criminality and to ensure that those responsible for these acts were brought to justice.
