Key Points

  • Senator Natasha breaks the government ban by organizing an Eid-el-Fitr gathering.
  • The security personnel will decide if an arrest requirement exists for the senator.

Kogi State Information Commissioner Kingsley Fanwo declared that security forces will decide whether to make Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan face arrest for refusing the public assembly restrictions in the state.

Government’s ban on public gatherings

The Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo issued a total prohibition on public gatherings because his intelligence sources showed prohibited individuals would endanger public order in the state which occurred on Monday.

Even after the ban Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan declared her continuous commitment to gather with her constituents for Eid-el-Fitr celebrations while stating that the event would continue.

Police warn against holding the gathering

Kogi State Police issued a formal warning instructing Akpoti-Uduaghan to terminate the gathering since failing to comply could lead to severe legal actions. Law enforcement warned that all individuals breaking the peace and order orders would face complete legal consequences.

Kogi commissioner says security forces to handle arrest decision

During his Channels Television Politics Today appearance Fanwo explained the state security agencies received orders from the governor to enforce the public gathering ban.

The security agencies now held responsibility to decide if they would make arrests of the senator, Kogi commissioner says. Fanwo indicated the senator should respond to questions about her activities because people held doubts about her motivating behavior.

The current issue with the senate president has made Natasha to be in the public face, and with this new one with the state government, these issues does not appear like it will end soon.
