Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Social Democratic Party, SDP, candidate in the 2023 governorship election in Kogi State, Alhaji Yakubu Ajaka has condemned the suspected herdsmen attack on Agojeju-Odo community in Omala Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Ajaka spoke in a statement issued in Lokoja on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He also called for immediate action to stop the incessant attacks in the area.<\/p>\n

A total of 25 persons were reportedly killed by suspected herdsmen on Thursday in an attack that left several people injured and farm produce destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe life of every citizen is sacred and important and it is the responsibility of the state to protect the masses against internal and external aggression.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is high time the state government got up to its primary responsibility of securing Kogi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the current occupants of Lugard House to put an end to the crises and heightened insecurity in Kogi by mobilising resources needed to solve the present conflict and to prevent future occurrence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He called on the Federal Government to intervene in the matter to save the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am certain that the President will not allow his government to be overrun by insecurity in any part of the country. Kogi State should not be allowed to turn into a killing field. The safety of lives is the first priority in governance.\u201d<\/p>\n
