Senator Abba Patrick Moro on Saturday, representing Benue South, has condemned the attack on the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom.
The Governor was attacked by suspected militia herdsmen at Tyo-mu village, along Makurdi – Gboko road, while inspecting his farm.
Senator Moro described the attack as mindless, provoking and highly unacceptable.
He said if the Governor, the Chief Security Officer of the State, was not safe and could be attacked by criminals in the broad daylight, what then would be the fate of the defenceless and unarmed citizens in their villages and on their farms?
The Senator called on the security agents saddled with the responsibility of securing life and property of Benue people to rise up to their duties and confront, headlong, the security challenge confronting the State and quickly nip the disturbing trend in the bud.
