Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has assured that detained Uneme Uzanu chiefs will soon be released, barring any delays occasioned by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) strike.
He stated this when a delegation of Uneme National Development Association (UNDA), led by the President, Peter Balogun and Chairman, Abuja Branch of UNDA, Omo Audu, visited him in Benin City.
The UNDA team was on a first tour of political leaders in Edo when they visited Shaibu to brief him on the association’s developmental activities. Balogun commended the state government for its development strides in Edo, adding that the disagreement between him (Shaibu) and some members of Uzanu Community culminated in the revocation of bail earlier granted three chiefs, dethronement of the Oliola of Uzanu and dissolution of South East Uneme Clan.
