The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has described the imposition of tax on loaves of bread sold in the state as devilish.
The governor's deputy, Edward Onoja, in a statement on Saturday, said he never approved such wickedness.
The governor stated this as soon as people started to continue to condemn the tax on bread loaves by the government which was announced in a memo signed by the permanent secretary kogi state Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Usman Ibrahim, on November 9.

Following the initial uproar after the move was announced, the state Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, issued a statement to defend the levy.

​He had said that the tax was established to protect indigenous bakers from people that bring bread into the state without paying any form of levy.

On what the government will do concerning the development, onoja said those behind the “rumours” would be fished out and punished.
“We will not tolerate our own officials trying to profit off our people in any way, or even acting ill-advisedly in manners that cause them any form of distress,” Onoja added.

The Army commander during his testimony before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the Lekki incident said inviting the army was the best decision the Lagos governor could have taken as the #EndSARS protesters plunged the state into anarchy but added that the millitary was also unhappy that Sanwo-Olu said two people died from the military engagement at the Lekki tollgate.

Brig. Gen. Ahmed said, “I spoke with the governor and said the Army was unhappy that he said he did not ask for Army’s intervention but I am sure that after you watched everything (video footages), you saw he had more than enough grounds to ask for Army’s intervention; perhaps it was the way everything went.”
