Two days after six persons got kidnapped, Kogi Governor Receives Award on Security.

Information reaching THE LEAKAGES said six persons had been kidnapped in Okene area of the state on Monday.

The rate of kidnapping has greatly increase lately even as the governor is set to receive award as best governor on security today in Abuja.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, William Aya, told newsmen in Lokoja that the victims were traveling in a commercial bus from Okene to Onitsha, Anambra State when their vehicle was stopped by unidentified gunmen.
According to Aya, the incident occurred at about 6:30am on Monday at Ochoze village on Okene-Auchi Road.

He said the bandits were 10, adding that the Police Commissioner had dispatched trackers to search the bush for the victims.
Aya said that the police were on top of the situation and that the victims and their abductors would be found very soon.

A dusk-to-dawn curfew  has also been imposed on Okene and its environs, the same senatorial district of the governor who is expected to received an award as best governor on security today in Abuja.

The curfew was in response to the growing wave of crimes in the area.

The question begging for answer is if the governor deserves the award as we are made to believe or the award was also bought with taxpayers money despite state workers are yet to be paid over ten months salary.

Just last week a woman from Mopa Muro LG government met her untimely death in the hands of the kidnappers while on her way to get her bank documents for the over one year old workers screening that has left the state workers in agony, suffering and death.

Many Kogites have openly condemned the award bestowed on the governor saying the governor does not merit or deserved the award and that the award was sold to the governor because as far as Kogi Security situation is concerned, its in a big mess and nothing to write home about. This is hypocrisy of the highest dimension, some Kogites resorted.
