Masked men clad in police uniform on Friday attempted to disrupt a meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the residence of the former Kogi governor, Idris Wada, in Lokoja.
It took the intervention of the military to disperse the invaders.
Kogi PDP spokesperson, Bode Ogunmola, confirmed the incident to Punchng.
He was quoted as saying, “We were at our leader’s house, the former governor of the state. Some hooded men in police uniform came around trying to penetrate, they wanted to forcefully enter Ibro’s house.
“Of course, we stood our ground, we called for military reinforcement. They have been sent back. We stood our ground, how many people can they kill? When they saw the crowd, they were afraid. So, our people started the defence before the military came.”
Mr Ogunmola could not confirm if the invaders were really police officers.
Kogi police spokesman, William Aya, when contacted, said he was not aware of the incident. He promised to get details from his superiors.
