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.

Buhari is a biased president, evidences abound against Fasola, Amaechi, others – Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has rubbished claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of corruption against his appointees. Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of their financial contributions to his election. Calling names of those who have serious allegations, the statement noted that, “These are in the public glare and we are surprised that the president exhibits volte-face on these matters. “For instance, Fashola has many corruption petitions against him during and after his tenure as governor of Lagos State. “Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL and individuals have their petitions unattended to by the authorities,” he said. “The reported outcome of enquiry, which indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers State, is lying unattended to by the authorities and Chris Ngi...
