Following the Benin Airport attack on the convoy of Senator Monday Okpebholo on July 18, where a police inspector attached to the Senator lost his life and other APC party faithfuls are battling for survival in undisclosed hospital, one of the top comedians in Edo state Daniel Eromosele a.k.a Pikolo was accused as one of the people involved in the violence.

Pikolo is a social media influencer who has a lot of following in the state.

In a recent interview with the press pikolo said “I’m compelled to address a baseless and ridiculous accusation circulating on social media, claiming that I, alongside others, have been petitioned by the Edo State Government for allegedly attacking our own gubernatorial candidate’s convoy, despite not receiving any official invitation from the authorities, I’m responding to protect my hard-earned reputation as a man of integrity.

“For the record, I was not present at the airport on the day of the alleged incident. I was nowhere near the airport environment and was not seen around there. I’m a comedian, content creator, and politician who has never engaged in thuggery or any form of violence.

“My recent videos have focused on promoting our candidate and highlighting the failures of the PDP and its leadership in the state. If my content has caused discomfort, I challenge those affected to counter my claims with facts and evidence, rather than resorting to spreading falsehoods.

“I have contacted my lawyers and they will do the needful in this matter.

“To my followers, I urge you to remain vigilant and discerning in the face of misinformation. Keep faith, and I’ll continue to provide you with accurate updates and quality content.

“I remain committed to ensuring that most distinguished senator Monday Okpebholo and his deputy Rt Hon Denis Idahosa win the September 21 election without distraction.”

According to reports, the APC has petitioned the perpetrators of the tragic attack to the inspector General of Police.

Meanwhile, Edo State Government has also petitioned the Inspector General Police over the Thursday, July 18, 2024 breakdown of law and order in the State.
