Kogi State Police Commissioner, Wilson Inalegwu has condemned the alleged invasion of the State Assembly chambers by thugs.
In a press statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, William Ovye Aya, Inalegwu said he has ordered a full scale investigation into the unfortunate incident and warned that whoever is found culpable will face the full wrath of the law.
The Police chief debunked a report on an online media that himself and Governor Yahaya Bello stormed the House of Assembly to stop plenary from holding.
“The attention of the Commissioner of Police Kogi State, Mr Wilson Inalegwu, has been drawn to the malicious publication in an online media, Daily Post, on 1st August, 2017, that Governor Yahaya Bello and CP Kogi stormed the Kogi State House of Assembly to stop plenary from holding. This report is not only false but unarguably from the figment of the writer’s calculated attempt to manipulate the mindset of the public against the Kogi State Police Command. The Commissioner of Police, as a professional Officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), will not participate in such dishonorable and unethical act.
“The CP as a proactive measure, deployed personnel to the State House of Assembly, based on intelligence received of threat of breakdown of law and order. The CP further reached out to the Speaker of the House to ensure that there was no threat to public peace at the State House of Assembly.
“Those who know the CP will never associate him with such unprofessional behaviour as reported in the online publication and such proficient act as carried out by the CP should not be misconstrued as storming the House to stop plenary from holding.
“The CP’s concern is to ensure maintenance of law and order and a crime free Kogi State. The CP hereby demands that the post be retracted so as not to mislead the general public of his good intention”, he said.
