Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki’s Chief of Staff, Taiwo Akerele has escaped death by whiskers.

In a petition sent to the Nigeria Police over attack on him by supporters of the Edo Peoples Movement (EPM) led by Mr. Tony Adun a.k.a Kabaka at Protea Hotel, Akerele said;

“I went to the hotel at about 7pm for a meeting with some foreign investors and during the meeting Kabaka came and attacked me verbally.”

“Kabaka was walking towards me when some persons restrained him. I just came from Igarra where I met that unknown persons entered my room through the ceiling.”

“I have reported to the police in Igarra and when I came to Benin, I went straight to Protea where I had a meeting with some foreign investors and I experienced the attack”.

“Thank God Protea is a world-class hotel and they cannot say that they don’t have CCTV. They should go and play it and see what transpired between us.”

“If there is an attack and attempt of assassination as being alleged, Tony Kabaka will go in for it but there is no such attempt, I will sue them.”
