Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom condemns the attack on the house of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Usman Abubakar, popularly known as Young Alhaji in Otukpo.
The Governor describes the torching of Young Alhaji’s house by yet-to-be-identified persons as unacceptable, barbaric and anti-democracy.
He tasks security operatives to fish out perpetrators of the act and warns those causing unnecessary tension on account of political differences to desist or be prepared to face the long arm of the law.
Governor Ortom sympathizes with Alhaji Abubakar and urges him not to be discouraged by the unfortunate incident.
