The Murtala Ajaka Campaign Team of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has demanded the swift dismissal of the Commissioner of Police (CP) in Kogi, Bertran Unuoha, due to increasing security issues in the state.
While speaking to reporters in Abuja on Wednesday, Isaiah Davies Ijele, the Director of New Media and Spokesperson of the Muri/Sam Campaign Council, mentioned that the team no longer trusts the CP to handle the security problems in Kogi State.
He stated, “The security situation in Kogi State is alarming, and we can no longer trust the CP to handle it.
“The lawlessness and impunity in Kogi are getting out of hand. The state is becoming a den of robbers, kidnappings, and other vices, and the CP is not doing anything about it, but only acts when it comes to political issues.”
Ijele shared his own encounter of facing a near-death situation in the state while also expressing doubts about the CP’s remarks concerning the upcoming Supreme Court ruling in Kogi State.
He questioned, “How did he know that the Supreme Court would deliver its judgment on Friday, August 16, 2024, when the apex court had not been constituted or composed yet?”
The Police Commissioner was concerned that the Supreme Court verdict could lead to unrest, especially during political celebrations.
Ijele criticized the Commissioner for focusing more on politics than on addressing security challenges in the state.
The campaign team asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to replace the Commissioner and deal with security problems in Kogi State.
