Lawmaker condemns murder of Benue monarch

The lawmaker representing Katsina/Ala, Ukum and Logo in the House of Representatives, Udende Jika Tor-Dwem, has condemned the murder of Chief Awuhe Alev, the kindred head of Mbayongo, who was killed on Monday.

Udende lamented that such acts were being perpetrated at a time the government was ready to give youths a new lease of life, as exemplified by the amnesty programme of Governor Samuel Ortom.
The lawmaker, who is the deputy chair of the House Committee on Police Affairs, spoke through his media aide, Jerry Iorngaem.

He said rather than key into the government’s empowerment programme, some youths chose to continue in their old ways of crime.

Condoling the relations of victims, Udende urged his constituents to continue their faith in the administration at the state and federal level, stressing that efforts were on to ensure that life and property are secured.
