Kogi State Government has queried Ohimege-Igu Koton-Karfi, Alhaji Abdulrasaq Gambo Isa Koto, Kogi Local Government Traditional Council, and Kontonkarfe for engaging in partisan roles in the just-conducted gubernatorial election in Kogi State.

The letter was signed by the Hon. Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Barr. Salami Momodu Ozigi Deedat.

The letter read as follows: It has come to the notice of the State Government that you deliberately engaged yourself in partisan.

“This is viewed very seriously, especially since your action, role, and participation in partisan politics endangered the security of your domain to the extent that a crisis erupted under your watch that led to the death of an innocent young lady in addition to several others that were wounded.

“This blatant action of yours is a sad contradiction to your expected role as a revered royal father of your status.

It is more worrisome that you acted unbothered when the much-coveted peace and security of the state were threatened by your action.

“In view of the above, you are hereby requested to forward a written explanation within 48 hours why disciplinary action should not be taken against you. Oral explanations may also be required from you when the state government sets up a panel to examine your case.

“You are advised to give priority attention to the content of this letter, please, your Royal Majesty. (Sunday Tribune)
