Kogidecides: APC Supporter, Umar Hassan Allegedly Gunned Down By SDP Thugs by AnonPoet: 3:28pm On Nov 11, 2023
People suspected to be SDP thugs have gunned down a 35-year-old APC supporter, Umar Hassan, at his Agala Ogane Polling Unit, Anyigba.

Fear gripped voters at the Polling Unit as SDP thugs were on rampage, threatening to kill anyone who vote against the “Igala Agenda”.

An eye witness who identified himself simply as Adamu, told newsmen how the SDP thugs invaded the Polling Unit with sophisticated weapons, threatening to kill anyone who “doesn’t vote for the SDP”.

“It was like what we watch in horror movies as they invaded our Polling Unit with very dangerous weapons. Unfortunately, Hassan fell victim and he was gunned down.

“They kept chanting war songs that they will kill anyone who voted against the Igala Agenda. They targeted Hassan being an APC member.

“What surprised me most was that the Military guys that had been targeting APC supporters for arrest and harassment were not on ground to save Hassan’s life. It was so unfortunate”.

There was calm across many Polling Units in Anyigba until the gunmen stormed many units to fight anyone suspected to be an APC member.

Reports show that the poll has been peaceful so far in the Central and Western Senatorial Districts.

When contacted, the Spokesperson of the APC Governorship Campaign Council, Hon. Kingsley Fanwo condemned the attack and urged security agencies to fish out the killers immediately.

“The gruesome murder of Hassan Umar whose only sin was being an APC member is unacceptable. The security agents in the area should fish out the murderers immediately.

“In the 21st century, it is sad that people are still killed for supporting a particular political party. It is unacceptable and condemnable. We knew the only agenda of the SDP is to wage violence against our people. We must restore confidence in our electoral process”, he said.

Kogi 2023: 3 Killed As Nigerian Military Thwarts Ballot Box Snatching Attempt


Anyigba, Kogi State – 11 November 2023

In a dramatic turn of events during the ongoing governorship elections, the Nigerian Military reportedly intervened to prevent the brazen attempt by three political thugs believed to be associated with the APC (All Progressives Congress) to snatch ballot boxes in Anyigba, Kogi State. The confrontation resulted in the fatal shooting of the alleged assailants.



Eyewitnesses on the ground reported a sudden escalation of tensions as the suspects attempted to disrupt the electoral process. According to preliminary reports, the trio, allegedly working for the APC, made a daring move to seize control of the ballot boxes, a critical incident that threatened the integrity of the elections.

The Nigerian Military, deployed to maintain law and order during the elections, swiftly responded to the threat, engaging in a confrontation with the political thugs. In the course of the confrontation, gunfire ensued, resulting in the tragic demise of the three alleged assailants.



Authorities on the ground, including representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security forces, are currently investigating the incident to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the clash. The incident highlights the heightened tensions and potential for violence that can accompany election-day activities.

The incident in Anyigba has sent shockwaves through the community, with residents expressing concerns about the potential for further violence. The electoral process has been temporarily halted in the affected area, pending the conclusion of the investigations and the restoration of calm.



As the nation awaits further updates on the incident, questions arise regarding the broader implications for the electoral process in Kogi State. The incident underscores the need for heightened security measures to ensure the safety of voters and the integrity of the democratic process.

The upcoming days will likely see increased scrutiny and discussions surrounding the incident, as stakeholders and the public demand transparency and accountability in the investigation.

I thought they all signed a peace accord form some days ago. I dropped a comment on the page. I said it. Their leaders keep signing forms but on Election Day..the supporters get the end part.

Now that you are gone. I hope others will learn.

You leave house for morning die for another man’s course. A man that will forget you especially when he wins. You put your dear family in distress. How you sef wan rest well?
