Edo Government Gives Ex-Deputy Governor 7-Day Ultimatum to Return Assets or Face Arrest

The Edo State Government has given ex-Deputy Governor Godwin Omobayo a 7-day ultimatum to return government assets he possesses or risk arrest. Omobayo, who served briefly as Deputy Governor, has failed to hand over several official items, including vehicles and documents.

The government deems his continued possession of these assets a breach of public trust and unlawful. The ultimatum follows a court ruling invalidating Omobayo's tenure.

The government warns of legal action if he fails to comply. Edo State remains committed to due process and protecting public property.
