Kogi Deputy Governor Simon Achuba
The impeached Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Elder Simon Achuba,
is currently under house arrest.
It was gathered that dozens of armed security men stormed his
residence in Lokoja, thus, preventing him from going out or
allowing anyone to come in.
This development, according to sources, is currently causing
panic in the area his house is located.
The Kogi State House of Assembly had impeached the deputy
governor on Friday over alleged gross misconduct.
Mr Achuba confirmed this on Friday night when he featured on
‘Democracy Today’ which was aired on Africa Independent Television,
AIT.
He said, ” As I speak to you, I am under house arrest. My
security aide has been withdrawn. Currently, in my house, security
operatives from government house have taken over my residence.
Nobody can come in and nobody can go out.”
However, Mr Achuba described his purported removal as Kogi State
Deputy Governor as an exercise in futility and cannot stand.
According to him, Nigeria is not a Banana republic, hence the
action exhibited by the Kogi State House of Assembly is a rape of
democracy and would not stand.
