Benue Killings: Ortom Lied Against Me - Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

 

BENUE KILLINGS: REPORTS VICE PRESIDENT IGNORED BENUE GOVERNOR’S LETTER ABSOLUTELY FALSE

 

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, was shocked by a news report ostensibly quoting the Benue State Governor Sam Ortom as saying that the VP was warned of the savage and inhumane killings by alleged herdsmen in Logo and Guma local government areas which took place on the 1st of January 2018.

 

Although the Vice President, Prof. Osinbajo does not believe that the Governor could ever have said so, it will be a terrible falsehood to suggest that the VP was ever informed by the Governor or any one else of the imminence of the killing of citizens of our country in those or any other local governments in Benue State.
