Governor Hyacinth Alia has firmly denied allegations that the Federal Government abandoned the people of Benue State in the face of ongoing violent attacks by armed assailants.
Addressing the matter, the Governor described the claims as misleading and untrue, insisting that the Federal Government has been actively supporting efforts to protect lives and restore peace in the state.
Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief programme on Monday, June 16, Alia said:

“We fought it down to six and now to three. It came down because of the full support we got from the Federal Government.
