The Social Democratic Party, SDP, has called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on security in Kogi state over consistent alleged political killing.
The Director of New Media, Muri/Sam Campaign Council, Isaiah Ijele, made the call in a statement made available to Our Kogi State Correspondent in Lokoja on Saturday October 7.
The call according to him, has become necessary following the killing of another two suspected political thugs allegedly loyal to the All Progressive Congress, (APC) in Anyigba.
“There was sporadic shooting in Anyigba by suspected APC thugs on Saturday in which two people were feared dead.
“The thugs that died were killed by their own APC thugs and information has it that it’s was rivalry or sharing formula tussles because the governor was there today!!
“Soldiers arrested them with two Siena cars loaded with arms but the Local Government chairman allegedly followed them to rescue those arrested by Soldiers.
“We are calling on the Inspector General of Police, Department of State Services, (DSS) and the Federal Government to declare the state of Emergency now in Kogi state
“It would be recalled that barely a week ago that a lady was killed at Koto-karfe Rally, we are witnessing this incident of killing again at Anyigba” Ijele said.
