Ortom’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Terver Akase, who raised the alarm on Wednesday in Makurdi, said “no day passes without the commission adding one more angle to their harassment of Benue officials.

Querying the legality of their request, Akase asked “does the statutory mandate of the commission include regulation of states’ security affairs?”
