Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has denied complicity in the arrest of a pro-Faleke politician in Ekinrin Adde, Hon. Funsho Olumoko.

Olumoko was reportedly arrested by policemen around 1.30am today in his residence over alleged plots to disrupt the commissioning of a project in Ekinrin Adde by the wife of the governor.

According to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo,the governor urged citizens to stay clear of attempts at bringing the state into chaos.

 

 

“We wish to set the record straight here that the role of protecting lives and properties is the task of security agencies. They have the constitutional right to protect the citizens of the country.

“The puerile attempt at parrying the ignominy of anti-development agents through blame shifting will not hold waters under the present administration in the state. Politics is over. It is high time we embraced development.

“In as much as we would not want to be drawn to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the destruction of government properties in the area, we urge citizens of our dear state to stay clear of attempts at bringing the state into chaos.

“The Governor will continue to see Kogi State as his constituency and the uncivilized conduct of a few anti-people elements will not derail the New Direction of the present administration aimed at lifting the standards of living of the citizenry.
