This happened after some unidentified political thugs warned the senator not to enter Kogi State or else he will be attacked.

However, The Kogi State government has condemned the burning of four of the constituency projects of Senator Dino Melaye in Lokoja the state capital by some arsonists.

The Director General, Media and Publicity to the state governor, Mr Kingsley Fanwo who spoke on behalf of government during an assessment tour of the burnt facility also said the state government has directed security operatives to fish out the arsonists.

“Irrespective of who is doing the project, the fund is from the government. So whether it is the executive or legislative, such projects should rather be applauded and not destroyed”, he said.

The people matter
