The Kogi State Police Command has urged Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan to cancel her planned Sallah rally in the state’s Central Senatorial District, citing security concerns.
Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP William Aya. The directive follows a recent ban on political gatherings by the state government, announced on Monday.
According to the statement, intelligence reports indicate that hoodlums may hijack the event, posing a threat to public safety. The police warned that any attempt to defy the directive would be met with legal consequences.
Despite the police advisory, Akpoti-Uduagan has insisted on proceeding with her “homecoming,” asserting that her visit is solely to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr with her constituents.
