UK-Based Ally of Ex-Edo Governor's House Burnt in Benin City Arson Attack

The house of UK-based ally of former Edo State Governor, Albert Obaze, was burnt in Benin City in a suspected arson attack. Obaze, who has been vocal against the state government, raised concerns over the motive behind the incident.

The Edo State Government dismissed his claims and emphasized the importance of investigating the incident. The attack further escalates tensions between Obaze and the state government, with previous reported clashes at the Oba of Benin's palace during Governor Obaseki's tenure.
