William Aya, said the raid and arrest was based on an intelligence report on hideouts of political thugs planning to disrupt the election.
in Kogi State, Usman Ododo, has cried out over the arrest of members of his campaign organisation by security agencies on Tuesday.
“My members have been arrested, some of my leaders, even in my community, this morning, they have picked not less than seven of my members,” he added. “That is what they should focus on and not the law abiding members of our party. So I call on them to hasten their investigations and release our members with immediate effect.”
Mr Aya said during a gun duel with the “thugs,” security agents killed some of them, arrested several others and recovered two AK47 rifles. “Our party secretariat in Lokoja has been burnt down three times, two of which were done in broad daylight and nobody is held accountable for it,” Mr Adejoh-Audu said.
“Just this morning again, about seven of my members were picked from my community. I don’t breed thugs because I don’t condone criminality. The security agencies should carry out their investigations and release our people with immediate effect,” Mr Ododo said.
