BREAKING: Young Alhaji breaks down in tears, accuses Benue South APC elders of setting his house on fire

A chieftain of the All Progresive Congress, Usman Abubakar, also known as Young Alhaji, has accused leadership of the party of setting his house on fire.

Recall that arsonists had in August set ablaze the politician’s house in Otukpo.

Our correspondent reports that the house located in Otukpo town in Benue State was torched between 3am and 4am.

By the time, residents gathered to contain the inferno, the security post and a part of the building had been razed to rubble.

A witness, Kole Aboje, said the fire might not be unconnected with the disagreement among party stalwarts of the APC in Benue South senatorial district over the choice of a running mate for the governorship candidate.

Speaking during a meeting with G-9 on Tuesday night, Alhaji claimed it was APC elders in Benue South that burnt his house.
