The Kogi State Police Command has urged Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to cancel her planned Sallah rally in the state’s Central Senatorial District.
In a statement on Tuesday, the State Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, through the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP William Aya, cited security concerns and the state government’s recent ban on political gatherings as reasons for the request.
“Following intelligence reports on security threats in Kogi State and the subsequent ban on all forms of rallies and processions by the state government, the Nigeria Police Force, Kogi State Command, has called on the organisers of the planned rally in Okene to cancel the event in the interest of peace,” the statement read.
