Ahead of this Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Inspector-General of the Police, Kayode Egbetokun, have been called upon to probe alleged incessant and senseless killings and violent intimidation of the people by suspected thugs who have been allegedly given cover by security agencies in Kogi East.
In the statement, Club 582 said, “We are worried that despite the deployment of armed troops to the state for Operation Safe Conduct, Anyigba, the social and commercial headquarters of Igala land, on Tuesday witnessed another show of senseless violence. As usual, there are conflicting reports. One said the political party in power in the state sent rogue troops, disguised as security agents , to waylay the residence of a political opponent where five persons, including a policeman, were killed.
“Kogi State in the last eight years has been a veritable killing field and the citizens of the state ,who have been unwilling witnesses to the bloodbath, have lost confidence in the ability of government to protect them. But we can’t blame them.
