In a press conference held at the deputy governor's office in Lokoja today, Shaiubu alleged that several cultists funded Oshiomole were imported into Lokoja with cache of arms and are lodged in three hotels in the state capital.
According to him, the cultists are led by one Philip Shaibu, who is a serving member of the House of Representatives and a former factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students.
45-year old Shaibu is the All Progressives Congress House of Rep member representing Etsako East/Etsako West/ Etsako Central Federal Constituency in Edo state.
