Suspects behind Kogi killings arrested – Gov Ododo
The Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Ododo, on Wednesday, announced the arrest of the culprits behind the recent killings in the state.
About 25 people were killed last week in Bagana, Omala Local Government Area of the state.
The gunmen, suspected to be armed herdsmen, were said to have also destroyed property worth millions of naira in the community during the attack.
Ododo addressed those criticising his government, describing them as “noisemakers and those without stake as far as governance is concerned.”
He said “Reacting to noisemakers, and those that do not have a stake as far as governance is concerned is not part of the mandate given to me by the good people of Kogi State and Mr President.
“The crisis in Bagana in the Omala Local Government Area did not start today. It has been in existence since over 45 years ago, precisely 1978. We are doing our best to make sure peace is restored in the area.
The governor, however, did not disclose the number of suspects so far arrested.
