Obaseki said  he was fully dedicated to the curbing of nefarious threat of insecurity in Orhionmwon in particular and Edo State at-large, adding that the main purpose for the visit was to commiserate with the families of the victim who were allegedly murdered by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Ugo environ.

In his words, Obaseki said "Here with me are senior officers with experience. I am here to commiserate with you.  To let you  know that we feel your pains.  As a Government, we are very concerned and we are worried, because the principle role of any government is to protect the lives and property of citizens"

 He added, "This afternoon, we are not here for long speeches, we are here to find out for ourselves what actually happened and make certain decisions. Although, this is not the first time it is happening, but we want to make sure that it does not happen again. Those notorious herdsmen will see superior fire. They are not higher than our security personnel.
