Kogi State Governor did not arrest anybody

Kogi State Governor did not arrest anybody - Fanwo

This is a press statement released by Fanwo
Kingsley, the Chief Press Secretary to the Kogi
State Governor. It reads:

My attention has been drawn to many
reports online concerning the arrest of
members of the late Prince Abubakar
Audu's family on the orders of the
Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

The Governor did not order the arrest of
anybody. However, law enforcement
agents are free to effect arrest when
anyone infringes the Law. If members of
Audu family run foul of the Law, they
would not be spared just because they
are members of Audu's family. Nobody
is above the law. Even if members of
the Governor's family break the law,
they will be arrested.

It is therefore unwise to link politics and
criminality. Law enforcement agents
should be left to do their work.
Government is focused on governance.
Politics is over. It is not the
responsibility of Governor Yahaya Bello
to arrest suspected criminals.
The Governor will never stop security
agencies from carrying out their lawful
responsibilities of safeguarding lives and
property. Anyone who breaks the Law
must be prepared for the consequences
of doing so.

The Governor has reiterated that
criminality will not be tolerated in Kogi
State. Citizens must act right. We must
build a society of true equality. Thanks
and God bless.
