Speaking to Channels TV Correspondent, Seun Okinbaloye, live from Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, Mr Ibrahim said that in Ofu Local Government, TMG observers noticed the movement of light arms which they reported to security agents.

He said that the security agencies have assured the group that they had swung into action and their men were on ground to prevent any lawless acts.

He noted that asides this development in Ofu, the state has remained peaceful with heavy presence of security operatives, and based on their observation there is no cause for alarm as no local government has been identified as volatile.

The Transition Monitoring Group has over 300 men in Kogi State for the election.
