Tension has gripped residents of Benin, the Edo
State capital, following the deployment of hundreds of policemen to the state ahead of the much-publicised opening
of the office of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the area next Saturday. [T]he security beef-up
was due to the alleged plan by another faction of the party to torch the newly acquired office. It would be recalled
that two factions had emerged from the state chapter as the climax of the 14-month intra-party crisis. The crisis
was due to the forceful removal of the State Secretary, Mr. Bayo Ogbomo, by a faction in the Edo South senatorial
district. Ogbomo, said to be a loyalist of the Chairman, Board of Trustees of PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, was abducted
by some armed men at the secretariat of the party located within Okada House on Urubi Street Benin.
