| Otaru of Igarra |
With the security challenges in parts of the country remaining unabated and general elections few months away, the Otaru of Igarra in Edo State, Oba Adeche Saiki, has called for total implementation of the state of emergency declared in three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa with the removal of all democratic structure and appointment of sole administrators to enable military and other security personnel take charge of the security of the states.
Besides, he advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to conduct election in the affected states.
Speaking to journalists in his palace in Igarra, Oba Saiki said, “As regards the insecurity that the country is going through, my candid opinion is that it looks more political as it seems ordinary otherwise the emergency rule that is placed on three states in the North East should be total in the sense that, all the civilian governors should be removed and put a sole administrator there preferably a retired military man so that the military can actually have control of the situation otherwise some politicians will still try to do other things negatively on the issue.

Among the letters retrieved from the suspects was one directing a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to take his compulsory leave for Mr Mohammed Alhassan, the current IGP, to take over the position. There were also certificates signed by the Minister of Interior, Mr Kwesi Ahwoi, to prove the origins of some American citizens, as well as High Court disclaimer forms.
