365Daily – Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has condemned the assassination of his Senior Special Assistant on Security, Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Christopher Dega, as a huge blow to his administration and the entire state.

He said it was painful that he was gunned down in such a gruesome manner.
“Retired AIG Dega served with me here and this is someone who has retired but is not tired and was very active. So for him to have been murdered in the manner they did; a retired AIG gunned down. This is very sad,” Governor Ortom lamented.
He stressed that insecurity had bedevilled the North-East, North-West, North-Central, South South, South -East, South-West, and called on security agencies to find killers of his aide.
Governor Ortom sympathised with the family, friends and former colleagues of the deceased and prayed God to grant him eternal rest.
