Angry youths on Monday stormed major streets of Makurdi, the Benue State capital to protest the recent assassination attempt on the state Governor, Samuel Ortom.
IDOMA VOICE reports that Governor Ortom on Saturday escaped death after his convoy was attacked on his farm at Tyo-mu, along Makurdi-Gboko road.
The protesters stormed the streets of Makurdi, bearing placards with various inscriptions such as; “Nigeria cannot be changed to cowgeria”, “Gov Ortom keep speaking”, “We will defend our land, among others.
The group vowed that if anything happens to the governor, there will be a dire consequence.
Meanwhile, a group known as Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM, has claimed responsibility for the attack on the governor and his convoy.
The group said it planned to kill Ortom on Saturday but failed due to what they described as “a slight communication error.”
