Reactions have continued to trail Saturday’s attack on the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, by unknown gunmen with several taking to their social media platforms to express concern.
The Chief Executive, who managed to flee to safety, attributed his narrow escape to the tenacity of his security aides and God’s timely intervention which he does not take for granted.
It’s been a troubling weekend in the once peaceful nation’s food basket following the quiet unsettling news of Saturday’s attack on its Chief Security officer, Governor Ortom.
A narrow escape he is not taking lightly as he took out time to go to church to appreciate God for sparing his life.
Governor Ortom insisted his assailants were Fulani militia sponsored by the major opposition to the State’s open grazing prohibition law who recently met in Yola to plan the attack.
Ortom was reportedly ambushed on his farm along Makurdi Gboko road Saturday morning by armed men who are still at large creating widespread panic.
