Police Intercep Construction Firm Engaged by Kogi Govt to Cutoff Roads to Prevent INEC Officials From Accessing Kogi Central

Barely 48hrs to the 2023 general elections, the Nigeria Police on Thursday arrested workers of CCECC construction firm allegedly engaged by the Kogi State government to cutoff roads to prevent INEC officials and other other stakeholders from accessing the senatorial district.

According to the workers; Mr. Ismail Abdulganiyu and Sheidu Amoto who were arrested by the police while digging pits in major access roads to Okehi local government area, they stated that they were commissioned by the Okehi Local Government Chairman, Hon. Abdulraheem Ohiare and instructed to carryout the assignment by one Mr. Toni, the project manager of the company in Kogi State.

Upon interrogation, Ismail confessed that he is a staff of CCECC construction firm while Sheidu said he is a staff of Kogi State Ministry of Works; admitting to the collaboration between CCECC construction firm and Kogi State Ministry of Works to block access roads in Kogi Central ahead of the February 25, 2023 general elections.

As at the time of filing this report, the
CCECC firm has already dug pits in four major access roads in Okehi local government area.

Several reports confirmed that the company under the order of the Kogi State government will carry out the same assignment in other four local government areas of Kogi Central to prevent INEC officials from accessing the senatorial district and prevent the impending defeat of the APC candidates.

This is bad

Kogi and stewpid and fulish politics.

According to statements given by the apprehended operators of the excavator that dug these trenches cutting off access to the hometown of the PDP candidate, they were contracted by Okehi LG chairman to carry out these satanic acts ahead of the election on Saturday. They've seen the handwriting on the wall and are fighting foolishly tooth and nail to avert their impending defeat at the polls.


We're in a democratic setting and desperate authoritarian moves like these should never be welcome. The Security agencies should as a matter of urgency act on these wanton destruction of critical human infrastructures and allow a free and fair electoral process.

Mynd44, OAM4J, Seun etc should kind see this.

This is what they have been calling progressive politics in the APC that have retarded and stagnated Nigerian for the past 8 years.

Hit like if your PVC is for Obi

APC is a disease, a cancer that needs to be eradicated now or we all watch nigeria sink while they hold away. Imagine destroying critical infrastructure just because you dont want elections to hold in certain areas. How wicked and low can these folks go?
