Comrade Oche gave this warning at a Reception organized in his honour at the Local Government Secretariat, Igumale to mark his official inauguration by the Executive Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom.

Addressing the mammoth crowd that thronged the venue of the reception, an elated Comrade James Oche appreciated God Almighty for making his dream come true and the people of Ado for their massive support during the Council Polls while assuring them that their support will not be in vain. The Council Boss said that the era of kidnappings, banditry and wilful destruction of farms by herdsmen were over in Ado as he was more than ever determined to fight these hitherto security challenges headlong.
