Some political thugs in Lokoja, headquarters of Kogi State, Tuesday warned Senator Dino Melaye not to enter the town or else he will be attacked.
Reacting to the warning, Senator Dino Melaye said he had formerly informed the Police Command of his coming to the state to commission his various projects in the seven local government areas of his constituency.
Senator Melaye who is representing Kogi West senatorial district of the State has set aside Wednesday till Friday this week to commission various projects he had executed for the constituency.
The yet to be identified political thugs who make their intention known through an unsigned pamphlet distributed yesterday at a ceremony by the Lokoja LG administrator, Shiru Lawal said Kogi State is no go area for the senator.
According to the pamphlet “Dino don’t patronize Kogi. Stay away else, you have yourself to blame. Save yourself and remain where you are, keep off from our land.
“Dino come and reap what you sowed, you don’t respect our leaders so we don’t respect you. Respect is reciprocal. Take what you get if you dare us expect the worse, we warn you”
In a swift reaction, Senator Dino Melaye said that he wrote the Police and other security agents of his coming to Kogi State to commission projects, adding that the programme is aimed at empowering his immediate constituency.
The lawmaker added that he will be commissioning meaningful projects across all the seven local government council of the state starting from Wednesday stressing that as far he is concerned, nobody can prevent him from visiting his state.
Meanwhile, the Public Relation officer of the Kogi State Police Command, Mr. William Ayah, while reacting on the threat, said his command is aware of his coming to the state, but said he is not aware of the pamphlet distributed by unknown person or people.
