Tenebe was said to have been arrested in his Ikabigbo home town, Etsako West local government area for undisclosed reasons.
It was learnt that the Edo APC Vice Chairman, a popular mobilizer for the APC and strong loyalist of the former state governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, had allegedly in a recent video accused the deputy governor of sundry issues.
