This is even as the Police Command cautioned the public against comments that could prejudice its investigation on the matter.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP William Ovye Aya, the Police said it was investigating the matter and therefore people should desist from making comments that can undermine the investigations.

Noting that the attention of Kogi State Police Command had been drawn to series of distorted information on the incident, the Police said it needed to set the records straight.

“The general public is advised to avoid statements that may prejudice ongoing investigation into the matter.
