Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has denied reports that he demolished houses behind Mid-Way Inn, Logo I, Makurdi.
He described the allegation as mischievous and very unfortunate, wondering why those behind the falsehood chose to smear the name and office of the Governor. He regretted the situation where youths take undue advantage of the social media to run their leaders down, asking the persons peddling the rumour to apologize or face the wrath of the law.
