Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has urged Governor Ortom to refrain from making hurried ethnic conjectures and postulating political conspiracy theories about the recent attack on the Internally Displaced Persons Camp in Benue State. Sani tweeted, “The dastardly murderous attacks on the IDP camp in Benue is condemnable. It’s advisable that the Governor refrains from making hurried ethnic conjectures & postulating political conspiracy theories out of what is purely criminal.”The PUNCH had reported that about seven persons were killed in an attack on Abagena Internally Displaced Persons’ camp in Makurdi. Many were also injured in the attack which the displaced persons blamed on herdsmen. We have lost over 70 people in Guma, Makurdi and Gwer West alone, in addition to what you have seen here.
