The Maigari of Lokoja, HRM Alhaji Muhammed Maikarfi (III), has condemned the stoning of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello’s convoy at Lokoja Central Mosque.
The monarch also warned youths of the state, especially Lokoja youths to desist from taking the law into their hands.
Maikarfi spoke on Thursday at his palace when he received some protesters who led a peaceful rally condemning the unruly behavior of the hoodlums during last week Juma’at prayer.
His words: “God almighty chooses who he wants to make a leader. The emergence of Yahaya Bello was ordained by God.
“I urge the people of Lokoja and indeed the entire state to support the new administration to succeed in the interest of state.
“What happened last week Friday after the Juma’at prayer is never in the interest of Lokoja community. We regretted that the incident happened in a sacred House and it is disobedience to God and should not be allowed to happen again. We condemn the act and it remains condemned.”
