Police authorities in Kogi State have asked organisers of a homecoming rally for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to cancel it.
In a statement on Tuesday, the spokesman of the Kogi Police Command, William Aya, hinged the warning on an “intelligence report”.
“The call for cancellation becomes necessary, noting that intelligence reveals that some hoodlums plan to hijack the process and cause a disturbance of peace in the State. The Command cannot afford to jeopardize the existing peace the State is currently enjoying,” the statement read.

Aya said, “In view of the security threat received on the planned rally, the Kogi State Police Command is therefore advising the organisers to cancel the event so as to avoid any breakdown of law and order in the State”.
According to the police image maker, the warning is in line with the Kogi State Government’s ban on all forms of rallies and processions.
The police cautioned against the defiance of the warning by the organsiers of the rally.
“The Command will not hesitate to apply the full wrath of law on anyone who causes disturbance of peace and order in the State,” the police said.
