Use your over 300 informants to help track down rampaging herdsmen not innocent Kogites.

A member of the House of Representatives and former deputy Governorship Candidate to late Abubakar Audu, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke has advised Kogi State Governor to make use of the over 300 recruited informants to help solve the state security problems such as the recent killings by Fulani herdsmen in Omala and Dekina LGA of the state.

In a statement signed by Faleke on behalf of the AUDU/FALEKE Group, he described the killings of over 25 people in Ogane-Nigu and Aloko in Dekina and Bassa LGA as the height of wickedness.

While commiserating with the people of the LGA, Hon. Faleke called on the Governor who in the first place gave the Fulani herdsmen a blank cheque to operate in the state to urgently move to rescue the State from the wicked assault on the people and also prevent further escalation of the crisis.

Honorable Faleke also accused the government of buying over 300 GSM handsets to political informants to give information about perceived political opponents.

He likewise condemn the setting up of a judicial panel to probe a matter that is still under investigation.

In his words " We are aware that the  government bought over 300 GSM handsets to some of its political informants to give information to it on any body or group discussing or found to be speaking ill against  government in all the 21 Local Governments"

We advise that those informants be used to help track the movement of the herdsmen and not the peaceful kogites".

We condemned the decision of the state government to set up a Judicial Panel to probe the attacks as if it already had knowledge of the identities of the perpetrators.

"How can the State government set up a judicial panel when investigations are still ongoing to unravel and arrest perpetrators of the henious crime. So, who and who would appear before the panel? We sincerely hope this is not another opportunity for the witch hunt of perceived political enemies.
