The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the President of Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa, Olorogun Ese Kakor, over alleged forgery of official State government documents.
Okpebholo disclosed this in a petition he addressed to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi.
In the petition, the Governor accused Kakor of forging government documents, in which he falsely claimed to have authorised him to provide assistance to schools in Edo South Senatorial District.
The act, according to Okpebholo, was not only fraudulent, but a direct assault on the integrity of the State’s administrative processes.
Okpebholo, who described the act as criminal and deceitful, said the alleged forgery was carried out in connivance with certain low-level civil servants within the State bureaucracy.
He noted, “Those civil servants implicated in the forgery have already been identified and taken into custody. A police investigation is currently underway to determine their level of culpability.”
Continuing, the governor vowed that all those found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
He also insisted that the land title on which the NBM headquarter was erected in Edo State has been revoked, citing the organization’s alleged involvement in violent crimes and unlawful activities within the State.
