Director General MuriSam Campaign Council, Isiah Ijele has raised the alarm to the security institutions, the media and general public over plans to burn down the office of the Kogi State Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lokoja.
Ijele in a statement made available to journalists in Lokoja on Sunday evening, said “It has come to our notice via grave vines that there is an urgent need for security to be beefed around the Kogi State INEC office in order to avert the sinister plot to burn down the office by mandate bandits.
“We are calling on the relevant security formations to swing into action to prevent the burning down of that office and to secure all the electoral materials used in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Kogi State. They want to burn down the building housing those sensitive materials on the guise of a fire outbreak and with the aim of damaging all evidence of rigging.
“We will like the whole world to know that if anything happens to the sensitive materials as ordered by the court to be inspected by the solicitors of the SDP, Governor Yahaya Bello should be held responsible as the chief security officer of the state. ”
