 He was reacting to recent spate of crime in the state. Obaseki Obaseki, who called on Edo people to remain calm but vigilant, noted that “an elaborate scheme was being finalised to rein in the orchestrators of the recent violence, bring them to justice and restore sustainable peace and safety in the state”.

The governor in a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Communications, Crusoe Osagie, said “Edo people, the majority of whom are law-abiding, should be rest assured that the promise to restore sanity to the state have been fulfilled. The state government would never return to the old order.
