The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has criticised recent comments made by Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, not Hyacinth Alia, who is not a governor, accusing the SGF, George Akume, of remaining silent in the face of the security crisis rocking the state.
Governor Alia, while speaking on Channels Television on Friday night, claimed that Akume and his political associates had failed to speak up or intervene in the ongoing violence and killings, especially in the troubled Sankera axis of the state.
Papers News reports that he further alleged that a panel of inquiry set up by his administration had uncovered links to unnamed individuals residing in Abuja, whom he accused of sponsoring insecurity in Benue.
