Constituency projects meant for commissioning on Wednesday (today) by the Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, were set ablaze by persons suspected to be arsonists.

The projects include Government Girls Secondary School, Sarkin-Noma, in Lokoja; and LGEA Primary School, Lokogoma, also in Lokoja, Kogi State capital.

While the project at Sarkin-Noma was burnt, that of LGEA had its louvres broken.

Both projects were part of the projects located across the seven local governments in the state and had been slated for inauguration on Wednesday (today).

Senator Dino Melaye was said to be on his way to the inauguration when the news was broken to him and he was said to have been disappointed.

He was also quoted to have vowed to still go ahead with the inauguration.

Our correspondent who visited the burnt school observed that the suspected hoodlums set fire on the block of classrooms, totally razing one classroom to the ground.
