Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Barely four days to the Governorship election in Kogi State, the Joint Security Operation has killed three suspected political thugs in Anyigba, Eastern Senatorial District of the State.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer in Kogi State, SP William Ovye Aya disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Aya said the security operatives also recovered two AK47 rifles from the suspected thugs.<\/p>\n

While noting that the operation was carried out by officers of the Nigeria Police, Department of State Security and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on a building where political thugs are being housed by political parties, Aya added that two members of the team sustained gunshot injuries and seven suspects arrested.<\/p>\n

The statement reads in part, \u201cDuring the Cordon and Search Operation, the Team, even after identifying themselves came under serious gun fire and in response three of the political thugs were gunned down and two AK47 rifles recovered while two members of the team sustained gunshot injuries and seven suspects arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this end, to make for a peaceful election in the state, the raids on suspected criminal\/thugs hideouts will be sustained to deny them safe havens to operate. The ongoing operation will be sustained until after the election, please\u201d.<\/p>\n
