Release Our Dear Sons For Us ….Our position by Concerned Edo Citizens Forum.
Rising from an emergency meeting of Concerned Edo Citizens Forum (CECF) held in Benin City on 4th May 2025 to review the state of nation with special reference to the interest of All Edo Sons and Daughters across the globe.
We noted with serious concerns over the Harassment, intimidation, and the subsequent arrest of our two prominent activists, Comrade kola Edopaiye and Very Dark Man.
We call on the security agents to immediately release our dear sons, who have, over the years, demonstrated great love for Nigeria and Nigerians for better society. These are personalities who have devoted their time,energy, and resources to agitate for egalitarian society through advocacy. Therefore, we are seriously bothered over this development to incarcerate them via demonic shenanigans and unholy gimmick to undermine their efforts to make society a better place.
We hereby call on prominent men and women of goodwill to intervene and also, the executive Governor of Edo State to his contacts to release our dear sons accordingly.
Edo people have been very critical about Nigeria development and wellbeing, it’s on records that Chief Anthony Enahoro, the man who moved a motion for independence is from Edo State therefore, activism has been rooted in Edo State over years, Very Dark Man and Kola Edokpaiye are only exhibiting their fundamental human rights to agitate for the commoners and downtrodden in the society.
Finally, we demand for their immediate release without further delay. Concerned Edo Citizens Forum will mobilize all our teeming supporters to ensure they regain their freedom through reaching out mechanism and mass mobilization policies.
