Ortom condemns Makurdi market violence, tells security agencies to fish out culprits
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has condemned the violence that erupted at Modern Market, Makurdi, the state capital, yesterday.
IDOMA VOICE reports that violence broke out at the popular market, Makurdi, on Friday, when some youths stormed the market to harass traders they identified as Muslims. A mosque at the village market behind the modern market was reportedly burnt.
While condemning the incident, Ortom stressed that “no one has a right to prevent others from worshipping where it pleases them.”
The governor in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, on Saturday May 29, charged “security agencies to fish out the culprits and apprehend them for prosecution.”
Governor Ortom further warns the youths to avoid acts capable of creating tension as anyone found fomenting trouble will be brought to justice.
