Ortom Denies Diverting N4 . 3 bn ; Says Withdrawals Meant For Internal Security

Benue State Governor , Samuel Ortom has denied the allegation of

fraudulently diverting N 4 . 29 billion state funds through proxies

and associates .



Responding to the allegation through his Special Adviser on Media and

ICT, Mr Tahav Agerzua, Ortom said that the report published in some

national dailies and social media, is the oppositions' plot and

campaign to smear his name .

Government Affairs was meant to provide logistics for internal

security in the wake of herdsmen attacks on the 23 local government

areas of the state.

He , therefore , urged the people of Benue to disregard the allegation .
