Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State yesterday appealed to rural communities of Benue and Ebonyi states which share borders to sheathe their swords for peace to reign among them.
Gov Ortom made the plea on the heels of the recent disappearance of nine persons from Ado Local Government Area of Benue State.
He said, “I want to beg the people of Ebonyi and those in Benue State to sheathe their swords and allow the two state governments to come in and solve this matter.”
