Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State on the platform of Concerned Stakeholders, yesterday, threatened court action over the alleged screening of Mr. Nosa Adams, an aspirant of the party for the House of Assembly seat, who was last week remanded at Oko prison for alleged attempted murder.
The stakeholders in a petition addressed to the state chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih, signed by Mr. Uwa Samson, Pastor Sam Ugofure and three others, alleged that the aspirant was smuggled out of Oko prison by some leaders of the PDP in Edo South, where he was taken to an undisclosed hotel to be screened by the committee led by one Olushola Oke.
The magistrate’s court at Egor, presided over by Magistrate Igho Braimoh, remanded Mr. Adams at Oko Prison last Wednesday over alleged attempted murder of three PDP members during the ward congress of the party.
In the petition, also copied the national leadership of PDP, the stakeholders expressed shock that “Mr. Nosa Adams, who was absent during the screening, who is still at Oko Prison, had been screened, cleared and issued clearance certificate in absentia.
“The most shameful of it is that a leader of the party in Edo South coerced the screening committee to screen and clear Mr. Adams.”
They urged the screening of the aspirant to be cancelled, or “we will resort to litigation.”
