President Bola Tinubu
A group known as ‘The Ayatutu Cultural and Social Development Initiative Worldwide’ has appealed to the President, Senator Bola Tinubu to ensure that attackers of Anyiin in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State are arrested and punished.
The group also appealed to the State Governor, Hyacinth Alia and heads of security agencies to act swiftly and apprehend the attackers.
Recall that bandits suspected to be armed herders numbering over 20 had invaded Anyiin , the country home of former governor of the state, Senator Gabriel Suswam and killed over 15 people.
The group made the appeal in a statement made available to journalists in Makurdi on Saturday just as it condemned the attack.
The National President of the group, Timothy Baaki regretted that the attackers killed Bobo Tordoo Suswam who was the nephew of the former governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam and many others.
“A nephew to H.E. Sen. Dr. Barr. Gabriel Suswam, the former Governor of Benue State and immediate past Senator representing Benue North East, was butchered by the invaders at the gate of his house, directly opposite Corpers’ lodge.
