The group's concern stems from recent media reports suggesting that the IGP Crack Team targets supporters of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Madam Adesua Odigie, the group's coordinator, emphasised the crucial role of the police in maintaining law and order without bias.
"We call upon the IGP to ensure that the police act impartially and do not interfere in the political landscape of Edo State," Odigie stated.
