Our people recruit criminals from other states to perpetrate crime in Edo – Okpebholo

Edo State Governor, Lucky Okpebholo, has raised alarms about an influx of criminals from other states who are allegedly being recruited by local individuals to commit crimes within Edo. He highlighted the presence of volunteers in the forests, ensuring these criminals don't settle down in the state. This situation underscores the need for heightened security measures and inter-state cooperation to tackle the rising crime rate. It also points to a worrying trend where local residents are implicated in criminal networks, which could have broader implications for law enforcement and community safety.
