Benin City, Edo State – Popular preacher and social commentator, Apostle Kassy Chukwu, has stirred public interest after shedding light on the circumstances surrounding the recent arrest of the Edo State Deputy Governor’s brother.

In a video currently circulating online, Apostle Kassy explained what led to the arrest and why security agencies moved against the deputy governor’s sibling. Though details remain sketchy, the fiery preacher hinted that the arrest was not politically motivated but rather tied to issues of alleged misconduct.

Apostle Kassy’s Take

According to Apostle Kassy, Edo people should focus on facts rather than speculation. He stressed that the matter should not be twisted into a political witch-hunt, warning against misinformation that could mislead the public.

“People must understand that the law does not recognize political titles when it comes to accountability. Whether you are a deputy governor’s brother or an ordinary citizen, if you cross the line, the law will catch up with you,” Apostle Kassy said.

Social Media Reactions

The preacher’s comments have since triggered a wave of reactions on social media. While some Edo residents commended him for speaking out boldly, others argued that more transparency was needed from both security agencies and government officials regarding the arrest.

A Call for Accountability

Apostle Kassy further emphasized that Edo’s political elite must lead by example, noting that holding individuals accountable regardless of their political connections is crucial for strengthening democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria.

What’s Next?

As at press time, neither the Edo State Government nor the Deputy Governor’s office has released an official statement addressing the matter. However, Apostle Kassy’s revelations have kept the issue in the spotlight, raising questions about transparency, governance, and the intersection of politics and justice in Edo State.
