Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has admitted to destroying major roads leading to the hometown of Natasha Akpoti, the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Kogi central.
Natasha alleged that the move was a deliberate attempt by the governor to keep her hostage, obstruct Saturday’s elections and prevent INEC officials from coming to her senatorial district.
However, in a statement on Friday night, Kogi’s commissioner for information and communications, Kingsley Fanwo, said the road excavation was a deliberate security measure.
According to him, the roads were cut off to divert traffic and prevent criminals who have been breaching the peace of the area from plying the roads.
Fanwo added that the move is a preemptive measure to stop terrorists from unleashing havoc on Kogi people, citing a bomb blast that occurred in December during a visit by President Muhammadu Buhari and the recent attacks by gunmen.
The statement reads, “The Government of Kogi State wishes to inform members of the public that the excavation of some roads in Kogi Central was to cut off traffic on those roads as a security measure to restrict the use of those roads by criminals who have been breaching the peace of the area.
