Kogi APC demands police investigation into the killing of a member in Koton Karfe, emphasizing the importance of ballot over bullets
They assure justice for the victim, urging APC supporters to remain calm and maintain a non-violent campaign approach
The Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked police to find the killers of one of its members last Friday in Koton Karfe.
Evangelist Kingsley Fanwo, Spokesman/Director, Media and Publicity, Kogi APC Governorship Campaign Council, made the demand during a press conference yesterday in Lokoja, the state capital.
He stated that elections are won on the ballot, not with bullets, and that security personnel must ensure that the killers of their members “do not walk freely without consequences.”
The statement reads in part;
While we commiserate with the family and the entire people of Koton Karfe; we call on security agencies to ensure that those who threatened to kill and went ahead to kill have undoubtedly declared war on the Nigerian state.
We salute the people of Koton Karfe for their perseverance and calm in the face of an unprovoked invasion and murder. We assure you of justice. The murdered won’t die in vain; the masterminds must pay for the blood of the innocent woman.
He called on APC supporters to remain calm as the Campaign Council awaits the full reports of security agencies over the incident for necessary action.
We salute the people of Koton Karfe for their perseverance and calm in the face of an unprovoked invasion and murder. We assure you of justice. The murdered won’t die in vain; the masterminds must pay for the blood of the innocent woman.
The statement added that the APC will “Remain uncompromisingly committed to an issue-based campaign that is devoid of violence, ethnocentric narratives or divisive tendencies.”……CONTINUE READING>>>>>>
