The Director of Media and Publicity for the Kogi APC Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo, in a statement on Friday, disclosed that the attacks reportedly began when supporters of the Social Democratic Party allegedly started hurling stones, bottles, and plastic containers at APC supporters and leaders immediately after the Supreme Court delivered its judgment affirming Governor Usman Ododo as the duly elected governor of Kogi State.
He said, 'However, the SDP candidate, Murtala Ajaka, ignored this advice and left the courtroom with his supporters as soon as the judgment was pronounced against him. 'Upon noticing the jubilant APC members within the court premises, Ajaka’s supporters allegedly unleashed violence, attacking the celebrating APC members and causing significant disruption. 'The APC in Kogi State has condemned these actions, describing them as undemocratic and uncivilized.
