The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue state,Chief Sam Ortom, escaped death Saturday, as unknown gunmen shot at his car. The Violence in the state seems to escalated in recent days just as the billboards of the aspirant and the campaign headquarters was attacked including the Senate Minority leader's Hotel, HAF Haven, where a couple of supporters were injured.



Per Second News gathered Saturday that gunmen shot and damaged three vehicles on the convoy of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue State, Chief Dr Samuel Ortom.

The attack which happened at the funeral of a lecturer late Dr Samson Sambe, in Adikpo, Kwande local government, which they also disrupted.
Chief Dr Ortom was delivering funeral oration when sporadic gunshots were heard and sympathizers started to scamper for safety.
Elder brother of the deceased and Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Dr Asen Sambe, had to appeal for calm as the funeral was hurriedly concluded.

Ortom, defied the attack to conclud his speech before he was informed that three of his vehicles parked near the Magistrate Court close to Adikpo Comprehensive College, ACC, Adikpo had been targets of some of the shots.

The glass on the owner's side of a branded Ford Hillux van was shattered and the bullet exited through the roof even as another branded pick up was hit at the tail board and the bullet went through, came out of by the left side and brushed a journalist's car parked close by.
Another bullet flattened the right front tyre of the third vehicle.

The gunmen, who according to eyewitnesses were three in a red Toyota Corolla popularly called 'dognyash' sped off through the street that passes by the side of ACC.

While inspecting the vehicles an informant told Chief Dr Ortom that the gunmen belonged to a group headed by a prominent Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, thug in Adikpo town.

The former Minister of State, Industry, Trade, and Investment, proceeded to the Adikpo police station where he lodged a formal complaint to the Divisional Police Officer.

The DPO, Mr John Bako, a deputy superintendent of Police, assured that investigation into the shooting would commence immediately.

HOW TO BE AN APC MEMBER OR
FAN
1. Create lies; 2. Attack and insult
violently when facts are presented;
3.Scream "Sai Buhari" if faced with
superior argument.
4. Lose your sense of rationality and
logic.
5. Insult the president and anyone
that supports him
6. Lie that GEJ stole $49 billion.
7. Disagree with any event or post
that portrays GEJ in a goodlight and
agree with any event or post that
portrays GEJ in a badlight.
8. Disagree with any event or post
that portrays GMB in a badlight and
agree with any post showing him in
a goodlight.
6. Celebrate bokoharam attacks by
shouting "GEJ is Clueless, Our
soldiers are weak and 6weeks is
counting oh"
What surprises me is the ease and
unremorseful impunity at which
Buhari and his supporters tell lies.
You can never see any iota of
morality in them, it's such a shame!
If they tell you they represent
change tell them to refute the
attached picture. Imagine Tinubu
telling you he will fight
corruption..don't be decieved..Vote
wisely. cheesy

OMAR BANGURA from Sierra Leone has this to
tell Nigerians;
"I don't think you guys know what you are playing
with. You can call each other names and laugh
about it now but when you end up inciting hate
here as I read through your posts here and a real
civil war starts in your country you will regret what
you are doing now. Your religious and political
leaders are trying to divide you between religious
lines and you are helping them do that rather than
standing up and say we are all Nigerians never
mind our tribe, region or religion.
That's the only stand that will save your blessed
nation. The foreign powers pushing the
government to take certain decisions will abandon
you when you start killing one another and reject
you from running to their countries so be careful.
Our 11 year war in Sierra Leone was not even
based on religious or tribal difference and see
what we did to our country. The worst conflicts
are those based on tribal and religious
differences. See Central Africa, Bosnia and
Rwanda. To have a better knowledge of this,
please watch the documentary/movie called
"Hotel Rwanda" or "Sometime in April". My heart
bleeds when I read what you guys are saying
because I know what this will lead to.
You will be the losers all of you whether Christian,
Muslim, igbo, yoruba or hausa. Stand as one and
save your nation together because you have only
one Nigeria that has the potential to lead Africa."
Lets unite and fight for our nation.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Only one way to be a saTANist.

Be absolutely shameless and clueless, then blame the opposition party for all your failed responsibilities.
