Comedian MC Casino has called on the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Daaor to take action following the reported attack on fellow comedian Osagie Daniel Idedia, popularly known as MC Porkupyne, while urging Governor Monday Okpebholo to address security concerns and ensure the safety of residents across the state.
MC Casino, expressing concern over the incident, maintained that Edo State belongs to all Nigerians and that no individual should be made to feel unwelcome because of their opinions, affiliations or background.
“If they want us to leave, let them come out and tell us,” he said, expressing frustration over the situation and calling for clarity and accountability from the state’s security leadership.
He urged the Commissioner of Police to investigate the reported attack and called on Governor Okpebholo, as the state’s chief executive with responsibility for coordinating security efforts, to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to protect residents and prevent further incidents.
The comments come amid growing public attention surrounding the reported assault on Porkupyne and calls for the authorities to establish what happened, identify those responsible and ensure that anyone found culpable is dealt with in accordance with the law.
MC Casino also reportedly disclosed that Porkupyne was experiencing pain following the incident and that arrangements were being considered to take him abroad for further medical treatment. The comedian’s current medical condition and the reported travel plans have not been independently confirmed by IBN News.
The circumstances surrounding the attack, including the identities of the alleged perpetrators and any possible motive, remain matters requiring verification. No conclusion about responsibility should be reached without credible evidence and the outcome of an impartial investigation.
The incident has highlighted renewed concerns about public safety, freedom of expression and the need for residents to feel secure regardless of their political views or personal associations.
Residents and stakeholders will be looking to the police for a transparent investigation and to the state government for appropriate measures to safeguard lives and property.
