THE Ohinoyi of Ebiralane, Dr. Ado Ibrahim has blamed politicians for the incessant kidnapping and assassination that has posed serious threat to peace in his Kingdom.

  The royal father, who spoke against the backdrop that the Kogi State Police Command fingered Kogi Central as the district that was giving its men serious security challenge, said the problem started when the new crop of politicians in their domain were using every available means to win elections.

 He lamented that in Ebiraland at the moment close relatives antagonises themselves as a result of politics, leading to a series of crises at the detriment of the people.
