Convoy Attack: Okpebholo Plans Scholarship for Slain Cop’s Children

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday, paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Inspector Akor Onuh, who was killed during an attack on his (Okpebholo’s) convoy in Edo State last week.

Okpebholo was riding in a convoy with the court-reinstated Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, when gunmen opened fire on the convoy at the Benin Airport last Thursday.

Inspector Akor, who was one of Okpebholo’s security details, was killed in the attack.

The APC candidate paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased in Abuja on Wednesday, promising to sponsor the education of the slain Inspector’s children up to the university level.

This visit was made known in a statement by Okpepholo’s legislative aide, Godwill Inegbe.

The statement quoted the politician as saying: “One of your father’s dreams was for all of you to become graduates in order to have a better future.

“I will not let that dream die with him and I won’t allow his killers to also kill that dream. From this moment, I will be personally responsible for your education till university level.

“I want to seize this painful moment to assure you all that I will not rest until the killers of your father are brought to justice.”

Okpebholo also gave a welfare package to the widow of the slain Inspector and promised continuous support for the family.
