Pensioners boo Benue Speaker
On Monday marked the sixth day the pensioners have been sleeping at the entrance of the Government House.
The pensioners booed the Speaker and chorused: “It’s a big lie; we must be paid six-month pensions before we leave the Government House.” “We are not here to negotiate with you, but to sympathise with you over your plight.

“Three days ago, three of our members, David Atsanan , Joel Ijir and Kiishi Dom died, while one Yaaakur sustained compound fracture.
