Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Saturday reportedly escaped death after armed herders opened fire on his convoy, TheHILL reports.
Findings by our correspondent indicated that the assassination attempt took place at Tyo-Mu community in the outskirts of Makurdi town, along Makurdi-Gboko road.
At the time of this report, the Governor who is still in shock was being expected to address the media on the development.
It is a known fact that Very Important Personalities (VIPs) use bulletproof cars. That, however, explains why the State’s Chief Executive survived the reported killing attempt.
