He added “Kogi State Govt people barricaded road to stop me from moving today. This is strange in our land. They used this grader belonging to Kogi state govt to block this bridge just to stop me from going to Yagba east to commission my projects. We yet avoided them.
“Letter of notice on my tour and program to CP Kogi. Yet no police cover given today.
“God save us in Kogi.”
