According to him,”It is false and unfounded. He should follow up the allegations with proofs if he wants to be taken seriously.
“That is what men of integrity do. We have decided not to respond to such blackmail and mind games by him.
How can you allege a Government is trying to assassinate you? It is spurious and unintelligent.”
The Director General said that “henceforth, we will demand for proofs at the appropriate quarters.
“Our efforts on securing lives and property have been hailed globally. He campaigned here in Kogi State freely. Nobody attacked him.
“The State Government is an institution that did not start with the present administration and won’t end with the present. We will do everything possible to protect the integrity and sanctity of that institution.”
