Riot Breaks Out In Makurdi
Residents of Makurdi on Saturday took to the streets in peaceful protest over the killings in Guma and Logo local government areas of the State.
Tragedy struck the state on New Year’s Day when suspected Fulani herdsmen killed 73 persons in several villages in the aforementioned councils.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that Governor Samuel Ortom appealed to the protesters to remain calm and directed security operatives to restore order.
The governor, who made the call in a press release, strongly condemned the protests and directed the Commissioner of Police, Bashir Makama, to ensure restoration of order in the affected areas.
