The Government of Edo State has ordered the indefinite suspension of the Public Safety Response Team headed by Comrade Kelly Okungbowa.

A statement by the Secretary to the Government of Edo State, Barrister Umar Musa Ikhilor, says the Governor of the State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, took the decision following several complaints concerning allegations of extortion, harassment, and unruly behavior by members of the Team.

The statement adds that the Government remains committed to upholding law and order and will not tolerate any deviation from the original purpose for which the Team was set up, which is to help maintain public order, assist in protecting public infrastructure, and curb illegal activities like street trading and illegal parking in our communities.

According to the Government statement, a thorough review of the Team’s structure and operations, particularly recruitment processes and training of its personnel, will be conducted to ensure that all official-sanctioned activities in the State reflect the highest standard of professionalism, fairness, orderliness, and respect for human dignity.
