Governor Alia Suspends Chief of Staff and Chief Press Secretary Amidst Outrage Over Yelwata Attack

Ochochi new:

In a stunning development following the horrific attack on Yelwata by suspected Fulani herdsmen that left over 200 farmers dead, Governor Alia has suspended his Chief of Staff and Chief Press Secretary. This decisive action comes in the wake of mounting public outcry and backlash on social media regarding the administration’s response to the tragic violence.

The suspensions signal a critical turning point for the governor, who is facing intense scrutiny over the safety and security of his constituents in the aftermath of the brutal killings. Efforts to reach officials at the Government House in Makurdi for further comments have proven unsuccessful, with calls going unanswered since news of the suspensions broke.

As the community grapples with the devastation caused by the attack, all eyes are now on Governor Alia as he navigates the fallout and seeks to address the pressing needs for security and accountability in the state.
