The police on Wednesday arrested the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, for attempted murder and illegal possession of firearms.

Spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force Zone 5, Tijani Momoh, confirmed Abure was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Benin City.

Momoh informed reporters that Abure and four other people had been detained due to a petition that was submitted against them.

The petition by the LP Youth Leader, Eragbe Anselm Aphimia, was addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, dated February 13.

The police spokesman said, “There are video clips, recordings of the petitioner being assaulted, being beaten when he came home last year to conduct ward matters.

“It is a case of attempted murder, conspiracy, illegal possession of arms and other related offences. They were also in possession of firearms; a short gun and three rounds of ammunition. Investigation is ongoing. They were just arrested today. More details will be provided later.”
