Some unidentified political thugs have warned
Senator Dino Melaye not to enter his home state, Kogi, threatening to attack he
if does.
In a swift reaction, Senator Melaye said he had
formerly informed the police command of his coming to the state to inaugurate
his various projects in seven local government councils.
The senator representing Kogi West senatorial
district is expected to inaugurate the projects in all the seven local
government councils of the state starting from Wednesday to Friday this week.
The political thugs, who made their intention known
through an unsigned pamphlet distributed yesterday at the naming ceremony of
the Lokoja administrator, Hon. Shiru Lawal, said Kogi State is no go area for
the senator.
The pamphlet read thus: "Dino don't patronise Kogi State.
"Stay away else you have yourself to blame. Save
yourself and remain where you are. Keep off from our land.
"Dino come and reap what you sowed. You don't
respect our leaders so we don't respect you. Respect is reciprocal!
"Take what you get, and if you dare us, expect
the worse, we have warned you.”
Meanwhile, Melaye has said he formerly wrote the
Police and other security agents of his coming to the state for the
inauguration of projects.
He told the media that he goal is to empower his
immediate constituency by embarking on various projects.
The lawmaker added that he would be in the state
for the “meaningful projects across all the seven local government councils,” stressing
that as far he is concern, nobody can prevent him from visiting his state.
However, when journalists called on the Public Relation
Officer of the Kogi State Police Command, Mr. William Ayah, over the alleged threat,
he said his command is aware of his coming but not that of the pamphlet
distributed by unknown person or people.
Ayah also added that nobody reported any such issue
to the command, stating that if they have any privileged information on the
matter, they will surely take action.
