    The spokesman of the command, SP Williams Ovye-Aya, who disclosed this to journalists on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, in Lokoja said the suspects, two men and a woman, had allegedly printed the forms with the name: Kogi State Cooperative Federation of Nigeria which they passed off as empowerment platform of Mrs Usman-Ododo.
