Kogi LG Chairman Imposes Curfew Ahead of Senator Natasha’s Visit

The Chairman of Okehi Local Government Area in Kogi State, Amoka Monday, has imposed a curfew across the council area due to security concerns.

This decision follows a ban on political rallies and unregulated public gatherings.

In a statement, Monday declared that the curfew is necessary to maintain peace and order, aligning with the directives of the Kogi State Government and the state’s Commissioner of Police.

“The curfew, which takes immediate effect, restricts movement and gatherings in designated areas.”

He warned that anyone found loitering or assembling in restricted zones without clearance will be arrested and prosecuted. Monday emphasized that the security and stability of residents remain his administration’s priority.

“The safety of our people is paramount. We will not allow any situation that could jeopardise the peace and stability of our communities,” he added.

The curfew is a proactive measure to prevent potential security breaches. The LG administration is working closely with security agencies to monitor the situation and uphold law and order.

Residents have been urged to comply with the directive and cooperate with security agencies to ensure safety. The administration appealed to the public to remain calm and continue their daily activities within the bounds of the law.
