More hoodlums surrender arms in Benue

 

The amnesty programme of Governor Samuel Ortom received a major boost on Tuesday when some gangs from Kwande Local Government surrendered assorted automatic weapons to the state.

He said the programme was extended at the instance of one Terwase Akwaza, alias Ghana, who surrendered at the end of August when the programme was expected to expire.
Ortom said the amnesty programme was needed to recover illegal arms in the state to make the place safe for investment and boost social activities.
He also assured the police and other security agencies operating in the state of his governments resolve to provide logistic to them to enhance their operations.
