13 arrested over illegal road blocks in Benue

The resolve of the Executive Chairman BIRS, Mr. Andrew Ayabam to sanitize our roads and eliminate all hoodlums and illegal roads blocks, has again yielded results as 13 suspects were again arrested at various locations in the state.

Following reports from the public to the Executive Chairman on the activities of these miscreants, particularly in Vandeikya Local Government Area and it’s environs, the Executive Chairman, Andrew Ayabam immediately directed the tax force to clamp down on the perpetrators.

This led to the arrest of the 13 suspects at different locations as listed below;
