We Won’t Allow Anyone “Smuggle” Insecurity Into Kogi Politics- Bello

Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello has disclosed that he will not allow anyone to “smuggle” insecurity into the state through the “boot of politics”.

Bello disclosed this on Monday when he received Usman Baba, inspector-general of police (IGP), in the state.

He said credible intelligence reports received by the government revealed that the activities of some politicians during campaigns for the 2023 elections could cause security challenges in the state.

Bello, however, said his administration remains committed to sustaining improved security for residents.

“It is well known that prior to the inception of the current administration, our citizens lived in perpetual fear of rampaging insecurity of all kinds, including high rates of terrorism, kidnapping, bank robbery, violent political agitations, pipeline vandalism, herdsmen/farmers conflicts, inter- and intra-communal clashes, campus and other forms of cultism, amongst others,” he said.

“By the grace of God, over the last seven years, my administration has done its best to supply both the tools and the allied morale boosters that our officers need to excel”.
