Dantawaye emphasized that the planned rally contradicts the government’s efforts to maintain peace and security within the state
The statement reads, “Following the intelligence report on security threats in Kogi State and the subsequent ban on all forms of rally and procession by the Kogi State Government, the Nigeria Police Force, Kogi State Police Command has called on the organisers of planned rally at Okene to cancel such event in the interest of the peace in Kogi State.
“The call for cancellation becomes necessary, noting that intelligence reveals that some hoodlums plan to hijack the process and cause disturbance of peace in the State.
The Command cannot afford to jeopardize the existing peace the State is currently enjoying.”
The police also warned against any attempts to defy the directive, saying, “In view of the security threat received on the planned rally, the Kogi State Police Command is therefore advising the organisers to cancel the event so as to avoid any breakdown of law and order in the State.
As the Command will not hesitate to apply the full wrath of law on anyone who causes disturbance of peace and order in the State.”
