He noted that he went to the police headquarters in Abuja to protest on the matter.
Ajaka said: “The attacks are taking place under one commander. You can see the vehicles. The civil defence (officers) they use there are not from Kogi State. They are in Kogi State for the election.
“The governor (Yahaya Bello) said he did not want to see me alive. Let them take me to court. I will give the details. I have an audio tape.”
“The governor wants to impose a successor on the people of Kogi State. But they don’t want Yahaya Bello anymore,” he added.
