Kogi Governor Usman Ododo Bans Public Gatherings, 'Convoy Movements' Ahead Of Senator Natasha's Homecoming In a move seen as a desperate attempt to maintain political control and silence opposition, Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, has banned all convoy movements in the state. The decision, SaharaReporters learnt, was allegedly to block Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's homecoming celebration. The ban, which was announced in a press statement, on Monday, by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, cites security concerns as the reason for the restriction. However, sources close to the government suggested that the real motive behind the ban is to prevent Senator Akpoti's supporters from gathering and celebrating her homecoming. In the statement, Governor Ododo also imposed a ban on all forms of rallies and public gatherings that could disrupt public peace. "We have received intelligence reports suggesting that some individuals are planning to stage violent rallies, disguised as political and religious agitations, to create a platform for destruction and breakdown of law and order," the statement read. To prevent such occurrences, the government has put in place the following measures: "A total ban on all forms of rallies and public gatherings until further notice. "Regulation of security convoys entering the state, requiring prior clearance from state commands of the deploying services. "Suspension of fishing activities in Kogi Local Government Area until peace is restored, following a crisis that resulted in the loss of two lives. "Deployment of security operatives to affected areas to restore peace and maintain law and order." The government in the statement urged residents to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and cooperative with security agencies, assuring that these measures are temporary and necessary for the greater good of all. "Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activities or movements to the appropriate security authorities," the statement added. "Together, we can continue to build a safer and more secure Kogi State." SaharaReporters reports that Governor Ododo has been under fire recently, with many accusing him of shielding his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, from prosecution over alleged financial crimes. The governor's impunity has been cited as a major obstacle in bringing Bello to justice. The ban on convoy movements has been met with widespread criticism, with many seeing it as an attempt to stifle opposition and dissent. Senator Akpoti's supporters have vowed to find alternative ways to celebrate her homecoming, despite the governor's efforts to block them.
