Kogi State Governor Stoned

Some traditional leaders in Lokoja, Kogi State, have absolved the people of the town of any involvement in stoning the governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, on Friday at a Jumat prayer.
Speaking at the Lokoja Day Celebration to mark the anniversary of Lokoja, the Walin Lokoja, Rear Admiral Ibrahim Idrisu (Rtd) said the people have never had a disagreement with any governor to the extent of throwing stones at him.
“Lokoja people are not trouble makers, because they believe leadership comes from Almighty God. So, we have no reason to stone any governor. It is not in our character. We have never stoned any governor.”
He reiterated the fact that it was not Lokoja people that stoned the governor, but miscreants and criminals.
