Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has appealed to the people of Agila in Ado, Benue and those of Mgbo in Ebonyi State to sheathe their sword and allow peace to reign in their domains.
Speaking to newsmen on Saturday in Makurdi, the state capital, Governor Ortom said the crisis between the two communities had lingered for too long and should be stopped.
He said it was incumbent on any Benue person residing in Ebonyi to pay allegiance to authorities in the state and vice versa, adding that such understanding could promote peace, unity and friendship that could guarantee meaningful socio economic and cultural development of the two states.
The Govenor’s appeal is coming on the heels of fresh crisis between people of Benue and their Ebonyi State counterpart at the Agila and Mgbo borders in which nine persons from Benue were reportedly missing.
