The attention of the Kogi State Police Command has been drawn to the publications in The Nation and Punch Newspapers of 19th July, 2018 that pamphlets were distributed by unknown persons warning Senator Dino Melaye, Representing Kogi West Senatorial District not to come to the State.
This report is baseless and unfounded calculated at manipulating the mindsets of Nigerians and the good people of the State.
This is indeed false in its entirety aimed at disrupting the existing peace the State is enjoying.
The Command received the report of the unfortunate incidents at the early hour of Wednesday 18th July, 2018 that part of Government Girls Secondary School Sarki Noma and UBE Junior Secondary School Lokongoma Lokoja was burnt down by unknown arsonists.
