This morning, upon hearing the news that Chief (Mrs) Mimi Adzape-Orubibi has been relieved of her appointment as Executive Chairman, BIRS, some armed men suspected to be members of the Benue State Vigilante and Livestock Guards besieged the premises of the Headquarters, Benue State Internal Revenue Service, Makurdi.
The men who claim to be acting on the instructions of the Benue State government have made the atmosphere at the board very tensed and unsafe, given their modus operandi.
In view of the above, it has become impossible for Mrs. Orubibi to gain access into the corporate headquarters in line with the Governor’s directive to hand over.
Let it also be on record that if anything happens to Chief Mrs. Mimi Adzape-Orubibi, the Benue State Government will be held responsible. One will wonder why it is only the premises of BIRS and Urban Development that have been taken over by these men even as other appointees who were recently relieved of their duties had a smooth handover in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the outgoing Executive Chairman appreciates the State Government for the opportunity to serve and the good people of the state for cooperating with her and making her work easy.
