Edo Speaker, ex-Speaker bicker over sporadic shootings at quarters

Kabiru Adjoto

Speaker of the Edo House of Assembly, Hon Kabiru Adjoto and a former Speaker, Victor Edoror, have traded blames over Friday’s sporadic shootings at the legislative quarters.

It was gathered that Edoror has been questioned by the police and asked to return on Monday for further interrogation.

Sources said resident in the lawmakers’ quarters heard sporadic shootings and the police was invited after which Edoror was invited.

The source claimed the shootings were carried out by boys invited by Edoror during the naming ceremony of his new baby boy.



Edoror however accused Adjoto of orchestrating the shooting to put criminal charges on him despite not paying him salary for many months.

He said it was not possible for him to celebrate the birth of a son and caused mayhem at the same time.

The former Speaker urged the police to investigate the allegation and urged his detractors to stop putting idols in their heart.

“My wife gave birth to a baby boy and I celebrated it. They are doing this despite not paying my salaries and I still won election,” he stated.


Speaker Adjoto, on his part, said whoever is on suspension is not supposed to be seen within the quarters.

“He brought cultists and they were shooting sporadically. When the security could not control them I called the Police Commissioner who came to chase them away.”

On the complains about non payment of salaries by the former Speaker, Adjoto said he is not in charge of salary payment and that the matter is before the court.
