Kogi faults APC chieftains’ arrest, tells security agencies to be fair
The Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress Campaign Council has condemned the raid of some of its chieftains in the state.
A statement on Tuesday by the spokesman of the council,
Kingsley Femi Fanwo, said law enforcement agencies should not cause insecurity in the state in the name of ensuring peaceful poll.
The statement reads, “We wish to reiterate that as a Campaign Council, we welcome every effort at ensuring a peaceful poll on November 11, 2023. The election is for the electorate to determine who leads the state from January 27, 2024 and therefore shouldn’t be a reason for insecurity in the state.
“However, we express deep concerns regarding the needless raid on the residences of some of our chieftains in Kogi East. We hold the hope that they are not specifically targeted ahead of the election.
“We hereby call on security agencies to act professionally, fairly and with the patriotic intent to maintain law and order before, during and after the election.”
