Driver killed, others abducted as gunnmen invade community; Residents beg Gov for help
A driver identified as Ome Osesa was killed and several other people were kidnapped recently when suspected herdsmen invaded Sobe in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State.
A source in Sobe told The Nation on Tuesday that the assailants invaded Osesa’s house, and opened fire on him, and everyone in sight, injuring many people.
The source said: “The suspected herdsmen later left Omesa’s residence and moved to St. Thomas Moore Primary School, Sobe, where they kidnapped some persons.
“Even the new police divisional headquarters created in Sobe, housing more than 30 policemen, has no impact, because the policemen there have done nothing to halt the attacks on the community.
“We call on Governor Godwin Obaseki to liaise with the Federal Government, so that a mini barracks can be created in Sobe, before the community turns into a graveyard.”
