He said, “We feel disturbed at reports of violence in Ochadamu that has led to the loss of lives and property in the community. “It was reported that a supporter of the All Progressives Congress was stabbed to death while party members were jubilating over the outcome of the Governorship election. “The reprisal attack by alleged APC members which led to the death of an innocent woman is criminal and condemnable. Our government would not shield party members who break the laws of the land. “His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello has directed security agents to quell the rising tension and also ensure that perpetrators of the murder and arson are brought to book. “The Governor is elected to protect all Kogi people regardless of their ethnic or political beliefs”, he said.
