The Social Democratic Party (SDP) campaign organization in Kogi State, has explained how a 28-year-old man attempting to plant ammunition on the campaign train was arrested in Lokoja, the state capital.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Director, Communications, Murtala Yakubu Ajaka Campaign Organisation, Faruk Adejoh-Audu in a statement, stated that the incident occurred at about 4; pm.at Goshen Hotel, Ganaja Lokoja while a tumultuous crowd was waiting to receive Ajaka who was returning from a campaign event in Kogi East.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The statement said, \u201cThe suspect, Jerry Isaac said to be from Bassa LGA of the state was arrested with two cartoons of bullet cartridges hidden amongst crates of minerals in a tricycle otherwise known as Keke NAPEP. He had pretended to be a delivery man making supplies to the Hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen plain clothed policemen from the C Division of the Kogi State Police Command manning the Hotel stopped the suspect to allow a search of the items, two other passengers of the tricycle suddenly took to their heels.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis reinforced the suspicion of the officers who held unto Mr Isaac and took the trunk of the tricycle apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the ammunition was discovered supporters waiting to receive Ajaka attempted to mete jungle justice on Isaac but were restrained by the policemen<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect was whisked away to the C Division Police Station at 200 Units Housing Estate, Gadumo Lokoja from where he was said to have been transferred to the police headquarters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Murtala Yakubu Ajaka Campaign had for weeks been sounding alarm of plots to plant incriminating evidence on its campaign train by the Kogi State Government under the current administration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe campaign is therefore calling on the Kogi State Command to get to the root of the mission of the suspect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe campaign hereby warns that it will go to any length legally allowed to ensure that subterfuges like the Lokoja incident are no longer directed at its candidate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe campaign warns that nothing short of a transparent and thorough investigation into the breach will be accepted by it.\u201d<\/p>\n
