Following the death of the 2year child and other atrocities of the Public Safety Response, the state government has announced to the General Public that the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency Senator Monday Okpebholo, has ordered the indefinite suspension of the Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) headed by Kelly Okungbowa also known as Ebo Stone.
This decision is occasioned by several complaints received by the State Government on allegations of extortion, harassment and unruly behaviour by members of the Team.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government Umar Musa Ikhilor Esq said 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.
