Members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), on Tuesday, 7th November 2023, stormed the Police Headquarters in Abuja protesting the killing of three policemen and some members of the party at Anyigba, Kogi State.

Governorship candidate of the party in the November 11 election, Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, led the protest.

Accompanied by prominent party members and supporters, the candidate demanded the removal and prosecution of the State Commissioner of Police, CP Bethrand Onuoha, alleging compromise in securing lives and property in the state.

Trouble started when some thugs allegedly operating in the guise of state joint taskforce attacked the residence of the Campaign Director General of SDP, Sheikh Ibrahim, in the early hours of Tuesday.
