E even arrange emergency meeting with the youth dem to sit down and discuss how dem go fit handle dis wahala wey dey scatter dem peace.
This tragedy be one of many wey don happen for Benue State wey don dey hot since some rival cults dey fight for territory. Just on January 9, reports showed say eight people don already buy am for different sides because of these cult clashes. Na real wah o!
