Terwase Orbunde, a former Chief of Staff to past Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, was attacked and his wife and housemaid were abducted by unknown gunmen, Tersoo Kula reports.

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Iormem Alia, condemned in strong terms the unfortunate incident, saying, ‘I am shocked and dismayed by this barbaric act.’

‘I have said this, and I must keep saying it. Security should, and must be everyone’s concern. The law enforcement agencies and the government need information. Make it a culture that anytime you see something, you say something’

Alia directed security agencies in the state to ensure criminal elements disrupting the peace of the state are fished out and brought to justice.

The Governor pointed out that while insecurity has become a global issue and is not perculiar to Benue alone, he will continue working round the clock to secure every life and property in the state.

He assured all Benue residents that security is a top priority in his administration, and that matters of insecurity will soon be a thing of the past.
