The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Frank MBA, on Sunday, forced out the governor of Edo State, Godwin (Obaseki), from the premises of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Benin.
Governor Obaseki had got into the premises unannounced at around 2 am allegedly to protest some anomalies in the collation of results of some local government areas including his Oredo
Officials of INEC were said to have told the governor that he was not supposed to be there just as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, was sent back earlier, but he was said to have insisted on staying.
However, at about 3 am, a combined team of policemen led by DIG Frank Mba and soldiers entered the premises and by 4:10 am, he was escorted out of the premises by the security men who shouted at the governor, “Leave, leave.”
