Kogi govt imposes indefinite ban on rallies amid rising security tensions

Published on March 31, 2025 at 07:53 PM

The Kogi State Government has imposed an indefinite ban on rallies and security convoys, citing intelligence reports of potential security risks.

In a statement issued on Monday in Lokoja, Commissioner for Information and Communication, Kingsley Fanwo, disclosed that intelligence reports had revealed a plot by certain individuals to enter the state under false pretenses, using fake security personnel to incite unrest.

“This decision follows intelligence reports exposing a deliberate scheme by some elements to pose as rally organizers while deploying impostors in security uniforms to destabilize the state and put the lives of innocent citizens at risk,”; the statement noted.

The government expressed concern over escalating tensions in Kasemiya, Katubo, and Umozu Ette in Kogi West, as well as a growing communal conflict in Enjema District, Ankpa Local Government Area. Additionally, violent disputes related to fishing activities had already resulted in two fatalities.

“To prevent further threats and ensure public order, the Kogi State Government is enforcing an immediate ban on all rallies and public gatherings that could compromise security,”; the statement added.

The government declared that any security convoys entering Kogi must obtain prior clearance from the appropriate security agencies for verification.

Local government chairmen were also instructed to take full responsibility for security in their respective areas, while community leaders and opinion influencers were urged to support peacekeeping efforts and cooperate with the administration in ensuring stability across the state.
