“The Kogi State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that on 30th March 2026, a case of cr!minal conspiracy, use of criminal force, defamation of character, a$$ault, and cyberstalking was reported at ‘B’ Division, Lokoja, by one Oladosu Sunday ‘m’, a student of Federal University Lokoja. The case was subsequently transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet and thorough investigation” she wrote
