Kogi State Governor did not arrest anybody - Fanwo

This is a press statement released by Fanwo Kingsley,
the Chief Press Secretary to the Kogi State
Governor. It reads:
My attention has been drawn to many
reports online concerning the arrest of
members of the late Prince Abubakar Audu's
family on the orders of the Governor, Alhaji
Yahaya Bello.
The Governor did not order the arrest of
anybody. However, law enforcement agents
are free to effect arrest when anyone
infringes the Law. If members of Audu family
run foul of the Law, they would not be spared
just because they are members of Audu's
family. Nobody is above the law. Even if
members of the Governor's family break the
law, they will be arrested.
It is therefore unwise to link politics and
criminality. Law enforcement agents should be
left to do their work. Government is focused
on governance. Politics is over. It is not the
responsibility of Governor Yahaya Bello to
arrest suspected criminals.
The Governor will never stop security agencies
from carrying out their lawful responsibilities
of safeguarding lives and property. Anyone
who breaks the Law must be prepared for the
consequences of doing so.
The Governor has reiterated that criminality
will not be tolerated in Kogi State. Citizens
must act right. We must build a society of
true equality. Thanks and God bless.
