Governorship Candidate Arrested In Kogi

Meanwhile, Action Alliance (AA) Governorship candidate in Kogi State, Olayinka Braimoh, has been arrested by security agencies alongside seven of his security detail in Kabba, Kabba Bunu Local Government Area of the state.

Naija News learnt that the Security operatives arrested Braimoh after campaign materials were reportedly found in his car.

Speaking from Iyamoye, Ijumu LGA Braimoh’s media aide, Musa Yakubu, said, “The last time I heard from him was in the morning when he called from Kabba town, but all attempts to get through to him since that time proved abortive.

He said, “We later heard that he was arrested with his entourage at Kabba.
