President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, have been urged to redeploy the Kogi state Commissioner of Police (CP), Bertran Unuoha, following the high level of insecurity bedevilling the state.
Murtala Ajaka Campaign Team of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), made the demand on Wednesday at a press conference in Abuja.
The team pointed out that the Kogi people could no longer trust the CP to handle the security situation in the state.
Speaking, Isaiah Davies Ijele, the Director of New Media/Spokesperson of Muri/Sanu Campaign Council, said that the call has become imperative following the security challenges currently facing Kogi state.

He said that the state is becoming a den of robbers, kidnapping, and other vices and the CP is not doing anything about it, alleging that he only acts when it comes to political issues.
Ijele questioned the statement credited to the CP where he raised concern over the forthcoming Supreme Court judgment in Kogi state.
He asked the CP how he knew that the Supreme Court would deliver its judgment on Friday when the apex court had not been constituted or composed yet.
In the statement, the CP said, “Remarkably, the outcome of the Supreme Court judgment is a source for concern in the security arena of the state, as political gladiators and their supporters may turn the celebration of victory or loss into an avenue to cause chaos…
“Such might result in serious disturbance of public peace. Therefore, all hands must be on deck to ensure there is no breakdown of Law and Order.”
