Kotonkarfe crisis: Give Peace a chance, Group appeal to Musa Ahmodu







By Muhammed Zoko

June 23, 2024




It is no longer news that Koton Karfe in Kogi Local Government Area of Kogi State has been enveloped in avoidable crisis caused by personal ambition by people who have held the area captive in the last thirty years.

While the enthronement of King Salihu Akawu Saidu as the Ohimege of Igu Koton Karfe was greeted by the majority of the people as one of the most laudable decisions taken by the Kogi State Government to legitimately right the wrong of the past, it is alleged that Alhaji Musa Ahmadu, former Secretary to the Kogi State Government saw it as an avenue to vent his hostility against the person of the paramount ruler

Alhaji Musa Ahmadu, in his desperation to become the Ohimege of the kingdom is alleged to have activated every evil machination to frustrate the emergence of King Salihu Akawu Saidu as the Ohimege of Igu Koton Karfe. 

With his failure to become the Ohimege and inability to halt the coronation of King Salihu Akawu Saidu, it was alleged that Musa Ahmadu have resorted to destructive criticism, blackmail, defamation, open condemnation of constituted authorities and recruitment of armed gangs to intimidate, harass, destroy, disrupt and cause mayhem in Koton Karfe and environs.

The gangs were allegedly being armed, mobilised, motivated and handsomely rewarded by the said Alhaji Musa Ahmadu.

The operation of the gangs involved physical assault on the King and his subjects, destruction of property and shooting of those perceived to be loyal to the King and constituted authorities. 

As the existing security apparatus laboured in vain to check mate these atrocities, the activities of the gangs climaxed on Tuesday June 18, 2024 with direct attack on the convoy of the Kogi State Honourable Commissioner for Solid Minerals and Natural Resources who was on a routine trip along the express road from Lokoja to his hometown leaving scores of injury. 

The attack was unprecedented that it took concerted efforts of the security attached to the Honourable Commissioner to rescue their principal from the jaws of death. God forbid!

It is in the public domain that Musa Ahmadu has allegedly vowed that Koton Karfe will know no peace until the Ohimege is dethroned and replaced. 

We, therefore call on security agencies and other relevant authorities to call Musa Ahmadu to order else, Koton Karfe and environs shall continue to be a reservoir for violence and lawlessness.

May God save the people of Koton Karfe and environs from the  hands of Musa Ahmadu and his trouble makers.

Long Live Koton Karfe!

Long Live Kogi LGA
Long Live Kogi State 
Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria
