Following the extension, the Corps announced that the orientation course for the states would commence on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

The cut-off and swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Friday, August 14, while the closing ceremony is fixed for Tuesday, September 1.

A statement issued on Sunday by the Command’s spokesperson, ASP Salisu Afusat, stated that the Command had taken decisive steps to prevent further escalation and restore peace in the affected area.

Recall that no fewer than five persons were killed in what was later identified as a reprisal attack following the killing of a herder in the community on Thursday.

“The Area Command, Lokoja, in conjunction with relevant security and community stakeholders, conducted critical engagements with traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders, focusing on reconciliation, restoration of peaceful coexistence and addressing the underlying causes of the conflict,” Afusat noted.

She said the Command had also commenced a full-scale investigation into the incident through the State Criminal Investigation Department, with efforts underway to identify, trace and apprehend all persons found to have participated in or contributed to the killings.

She said that following the interventions and stakeholder engagements, normalcy had been restored to Abugi and its environs, with security monitoring continuing to ensure that the peace was sustained.

“The restoration of calm, however, does not in any way halt the ongoing investigation, as the Command remains committed to ensuring that those responsible for the loss of lives are identified and brought to justice,” she added.

Police

The Commissioner of Police reiterated that the Kogi State Police Command remained fully committed to protecting the lives and property of residents across the state.

He urged members of the public to remain law-abiding and promptly report suspicious movements or activities to the police and other security agencies.
