He briefed them on a recent peace meeting held between the Fulani herders and Ohimini residents, cautioning youths against any acts capable of disrupting peace and harmony in the area.
Omale also conveyed Governor Alia’s sympathy to the bereaved families and assured them of the government’s commitment to ensuring sustained security across Benue State.
In his remarks, the Ohimini LG Chairman, Mr. Gabriel Adole, appreciated his people for their continued support, expressing sadness over the killings and pledging renewed efforts to safeguard lives and property. He described the visit as a morale booster to do more for the APC family in the state.
