Kogi poll: Police confirm three deaths, say casualty list still being compiled

The police have confirmed the death of three persons during the governorship election held in Kogi state on Saturday.

Akeem Busari, commissioner of police in Kogi, who confirmed the deaths to reporters, said the command was still compiling its report on the poll to ascertain the actual number of casualties.

Busari also said 10 persons were arrested across the state during the election.

He said three persons died in Lokoja, the state capital, when “armed thugs” invaded St. Luke Primary School, Adanakolo, during the election.

Busari, however, described the situation in the state as calm.
