The Imo League of Professionals, ILP, have asked the Edo State Government to stop harassing, intimidating and terrorising their son Douglas Ogbankwa.
The body said the Edo State Government has acted in a shameful way in its many attacks on the person and profession status of Douglas Ogbankwa.
In a statement in Owerri, Imo State by its Programmes Officer, Chisom Christopher, ILP said the Edo State government had used one Razaq Isenalumhe of PDP’s lawyers in Edo State and a bencher and Wole Iyamu, SAN, former Attorney General of the state to write petitions to both to the Supreme Court and the Nigerian Police, acting on the prompting of Edo State government .
ILP noted that the recent attack by some officers of the Department of State Service, DSS, in Edo State on Douglas Ogbankwa at the Edo State Command of DSS compound, was in continuation of the persistent attacks and harassment on him by the Edo State government for doing his professional job as a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC Legal Team in Edo State and his personal preference of supporting President Bola Tinubu to be President of the country.
The body asked the government of Edo State to stop its persistent attacks on the lawyer and for the Director General of SSS to order a total overhaul of the Edo State command of the DSS, as same has been jaundiced by partisan politics.
