“Enough is enough in Edo State. We can’t allow our State to be tagged a wicked zoo just because we allow other citizens from other states to live in our dear land, There is no religious basis to support this kind of cruel act as a form of deliverance or correctional means,Justice must prevail at all cost,” she noted.
