Benue Security Watch stated further that available and reliable Intel has confirmed Alia’s worries over the strategic partnership between Senator George Akume and the leader of the People’s Democratic Party in the state, Hon. Samuel Ortom.
The group accused some security agents in the state of working together with the governor to perfect his assassination plans on the trip of Akume, Ortom and Aondoakaa.
The group however called on the Inspector-General of Police, the Director General of the DSS and heads of other relevant security agencies to wake up to task and prevent such occurrence in Benue state.
