“We hereby call on the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbanjo to call the Kogi State Governor and his boys to order as a matter of urgency. Kogi state is not an autocratic state and we cannot continue to tolerate this impunity. This is not democracy.
“We equally seek for the immediate arrest of the member representing Ankpa constituency in the House of Assembly for plotting the kidnap of Hon. Friday Makama using the coercive influence of thugs and some uniformed police officers. This is sheer wickedness”, he said.
Speaking further on the development, Okai described Kogi State Commissioner of police, Wilson Inalegwu as being partisan.

“This is not the first time the Commissioner of Police is present in a crisis recorded scene of which he failed to prevent due to his political leaning. Inalegwu is glaringly an opposition and not a neutral police officer.
“Recently, Wilson Inalegwu was present when Senator Dino Melaye was attacked under his watch in Lokoja. The attacked led to the death of two innocent indigenes of the state leaving numerous others injured. The same Inalegwu motioned his boys who came all the way from Lokoja to arrest me in Abuja on the orders of the Kogi state governor. It is now a known fact that Wilson Inalegwu is a political police officer.
