Benue Amnesty Update: Notorious Thug Surrenders Arms (see More Photos.) by QueenEva27(f): 6:26pm On Aug 31, 2015
Mr. Terwase Akwaza (aka GANA) surrenders arms to the ongoing amnesty policy by Benue state government to raid the state of arms.he amnesty programme initiated by the Benue State Governor today received a huge boost as the most wanted warlord in the state, Terwase Akwaza A.K.A Gana, submitted a cache of sophisticated weapons and other weapons of warfare.

Governor Samuel Ortom who received the surrendered militia leader, Terwase Akwaza aka Gana at the Benues people house
expressed optimism and appreciation that the amnesty programme, which many skeptics and cynics expressed pessimism over its success has yielded, in the interim, the much desired outcome.

The Governor also stated that in view of a security interface with Gana, it was resolved that the amnesty be extended, in line with his policy of carrot and stick, to a period of 4 more weeks to allow other groups the last opportunity to key into the amnesty and submit their weapons.

After his surrender Terwase Akwaza said his reasons for his decision to hand over the large quantum of arms to include his conviction that Samuel Ortom has brought the needed change in Benue State and he believes, the issues that frustrated them to resort to carrying illegal arms and criminality within Benue and Taraba States have now become history.

His Excellency, Samuel Ortom expressed appreciation to President Mohammadu Buhari and his colleague, the Governor of Taraba State for accepting and approving the amnesty programme.

He also thanked the Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Katsina Ala for the mediation role he played in the course of dialogue with the militia group.

A total number of 84 guns and other weapons of warfare were surrendered by GANA and his group alone with a promise to convince those yet to surrender to do so in the next four weeks.

Arrangee!


Ortom will pack it and handover to his boys for 2019 or the Police shall confiscate it and resell to their boys that operate at night or it shall be handed over to aka Gana for safe keeping pending 2019 when his services and the arms shall be needed.

Like the poster above me rightly stated; where was aka Gana aka warlord when Fulani cattle rearers were slicing his people like Oceanic bread? undecided undecided
