Bello, don’t be soft on promoters of violence”, “we demand peaceful elections in Kogi State”, and “IGP must declare Ajaka wanted now”, among others.
They quoted the Kogi State Police Command as saying, “His riding rough-shod and engaging in political brinkmanship and brigandage is an ill-wind that blows no one any good.
