Kogi govt clamp downs on disbanded task force
“The NAT force has been disbanded by the Federal Government. But it has come to our notice that some disgruntled elements are operating in the name of NAT force extorting money from people and ensuring that armed are smuggled into Kogi State. We are going to put an end to this.
“With the mandate given to us by our amiable governor, we are determined to ensure that those in possession of illegal arms, including the illegal operation of the disbanded NAT force, are apprehended.” While frowning at the impasse surrounding the operation of IMAN in the state, Makama emphasised that for the agency to achieve its mandate, it is important for them to unite to rid the state of crimes and criminalities.All rights reserved.
