The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has lauded the swift actions taken by Gov. Monday Okpebholo of Edo following the recent mob action against some travelers in the state.
The Executive Secretary of the commission, Dr Tony Ojukwu, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
“We commend Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, for his swift action in suspending the Commander of the Edo State Security Corps, CP Friday Ibadin (rtd), and banning illegal vigilante groups in the state.
“However, more needs to be done to ensure justice for the victims and prevent such tragedies in the future,” he said.
Recall that the governor has received commendation from Nigerians across party lines and religious divides.
