According to a statement issued by the state commissioner for information, Kingsley Fanwo, the attack occurred at about 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 22, noting that the attackers were dressed in “military uniforms.”

He said they waylaid the governor’s convoy and started shooting sporadically at his vehicle and other vehicles in the convoy.

According to him, “The attackers who were dressed in military uniforms waylaid the governor’s convoy and started shooting sporadically at his vehicle and other vehicles in the convoy. It took the swift intervention of the security personnel attached to the governor to foil the satanic plans of the unknown soldiers.”

He said that the attacks were at three different points, the last barricade being around Kwali Federal Capital Territory at about 4.20 p.m.

“The report of these strange attacks has been properly documented at security offices in the state and at the national level for prompt and thorough investigations to avert future occurrences.

“We are not oblivious of the fact that certain elements are bent on painting Kogi unsafe ahead of the Governorship Poll slated for November 11, 2023. As an administration, we will spare nothing to ensure our citizens are not subjected to security threats by desperate politicians sponsoring violence and terrorism,” the statement said.

 

The statement called on Kogi citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements in the domain to relevant security agencies, assuring that the peace Kogi people have been enjoying in the last eight years would not be lost on the altar of violent politics.

“It is the responsibility of the government to ensure security and we want to assure you that the peace we have enjoyed as a state in the last eight years won’t be lost on the altar of violent politics,” he stated.
