Ikpea Praises Okpebholo for School Closures Amid Threats

Senator Joseph Ikpea, representing Edo Central Senatorial District, commended Governor Mondai Okpebholo for his proactive decision to close three secondary schools in Akoko Edo, Edo State. This action was taken in response to a red alert raised by the Department of State Services (DSS) concerning a planned bandit attack on schools in the area.

Ikpea emphasized that the governor's swift response demonstrated uncommon leadership and a commitment to the well-being of the people. He warned that the threat of kidnapping children is serious and called for vigilance among citizens in Edo Central.

Ikpea urged the public not to dismiss the DSS alert and to report any suspicious activities to security agencies. He praised the collaboration between the DSS and the state government in ensuring the safety of Edo State residents and expressed support for ongoing initiatives to rid the state of undesirable elements.
