Kogi Police To Investigate Attack On Cop In Political Clash

The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Bethrand Onuoha, has on Thursday, ordered an investigation into an alleged attack on a police officer in an alleged political clash in the Idah Local Government Area of the state.

This was made known by a statement issued by the state command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Williams Ovye-Aya, in Lokoja.

Ovye-Aya said the CP was worried over a trending video showing the police officer seriously injured.

Onuoha ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department to take the task and immediately investigate the clash.

The CP reiterated the command’s unwavering commitment to continue to engage the critical stakeholders in Election Security Management to ensure a secure environment for the electoral process.

“This command is ever determined to provide a level playing ground for all political parties as they embark on campaigns, rallies, processions, among others.

“But all would-be trouble makers who are hell-bent on causing violence to undermine the credibility of the electoral process in the state should stay away from such acts or face the wrath of the police.

“This is because we are in synergy with other security agencies in election security management and will not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone caught disrupting the electoral process, ” the CP warned.
