The Edo State Government has shed more light on the activities of suspected arsonists, working in cohorts with unscrupulous politicians under the aegis of the disbanded Edo Peoples Movement , to sabotage markets in Benin metropolis and the state government.
The governor, who approved the release of N100 million to compensate traders whose goods were destroyed in the fire incident, noted that it was unfortunate that different markets in the state have been gutted by fire within a short period, a development he attributed to the antics of the enemies of the state.
He said the fire incidents were politically motivated by the disgruntled politicians, who had vowed to make government unbearable for him. “Last week, when a similar incident occurred, firefighters came in to quell the fire in Oliha market and the people chased them. There is a pattern to what they are doing.
Instead of proffering solutions to the incessant fire outbreaks in the markets, he is politicizing the whole matter. Drowning man.
