Kogi State Mandates A Curfew, Before The Senator’s HomeComing Rally

Local authorities in Kogi State have imposed a curfew ahead of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan's homecoming rally, a surprising development.

 Officials cited potential threats that could disrupt public order during the rally, which is why the Kogi Council announced the measure amid increased security concerns. Senator Akpoti Uduaghan continued with her scheduled rally despite the curfew, arriving by helicopter to a cheering crowd of supporters. The senator maintained that her event was conducted within the bounds of the law and emphasized that the curfew would not deter her from engaging with her constituents.

 The situation is being closely monitored by government officials and local security agencies to maintain public safety while permitting the rally to continue. Even though it was disruptive, observers noted that the curfew was indicative of ongoing efforts by local authorities to strike a balance between public safety and community energizing political activities.
