Igala Vanguard has demanded immediate arrest of All Progressive Congress ( APC ), ward chairman of Iyale, one Mr Shagari Ojiji, and Honourable Achile, APC councilor representing Iyale Ward in Dekina Local Government Area, Kogi State for a politically motivated attack and destruction of property at Ologba on Sunday being 3rd July, 2022.
The group in a press statement made available to press men as issued by the spokeperson of the group Engr Lawrence Akpa, called on the law enforcement agents to arrest the duo for leading an attack on the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ), on the mentioned date which resulted into the burning of cars and destruction of properties belonging to the PDP’s Supporters.
Part of the press statement reads: ” election is yet to commence, but APC’s thugs have started causing mayhem in the area and other part of Kogi East.
Politics according to Igala’s definition is a game of wisdom, but is often sadden that ours in Kogi East unlike other parts of the state is often in violence.
Why should APC’s thugs unleash attack on opposition party for the simple reason that PDP were having stakeholders meeting at Ologba community?
Igala Vanguard will not accept this politics of violence this time around and all hands will be on desk that the perpetrators of this barbaric act would be brought to book to face the full wrath of the law”.
