Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom has claimed that the state government has spent no fewer than N50bn taking care of the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in the state.



Ortom was reacting to rumour about diversion of relief materials and misappropriation of funds by some officials of his government meant for flood victims.



When asked about the issue of misappropriation of fund and how much has been spent from the state’s pocket, Ortom said, "I think around 50 billion naira currently.

"Like I said, there has been responses from the federal government, state government and other individuals and organisations. All that we needed was just some assistance.



“We are making a comprehensive analysis, at the end we will make a decision depending on the availability of funds.


"Since we cannot pay all the salaries, we agreed that we will combine two months and pay for one month, so people can have allowance to do other things. Discussions are still going on and I’m also discussing with other financial institutions to see if we can find a way around it.



“But I still believe that if this process that we have adopted is the desired one, we still have to go step by step so we cannot inflict pain on the workers. One thing I know is that with this inflation, whatever people get is not enough. The good thing is that we are discussing and as we are discussing, we will find a way out of it,” he told Sun.

There should be a secrete assassination team reporting directly to the topmost patriot in power or is that we don't even have patriots is this nation who actually want things to get better. We can't possibly continue like this...at some point, there won't be a Nigeria ooo

Like this one now that came out to claim this horrible, bogus spending numbers with a whole lot of zeros...should just be secretly assassinated, I'm sure his deputy that will take over will give himself brain...by the time about 10 to 15 corrupt public office holders gets deleted mysteriously..everybody's brain contesting and still in power will hit reset mode.
There's only one thing they can fear..and that's death...all this efcc harassment and prison sentence won't work..they always have a way of escaping claiming there's no proof against them of lootng
exactly my thoughts. na different mode i go dey use kill dem, dey are just too wicked.

You still haven't answered the question.
Do you think someone will just wake up to organise a killer squad without
getting anything in return ?

If you understand how power works, you would realise that nobody will risk
their heads when the majority of the populace don't give a damn.
That's is why in my first comment, I asked if there are patriots in this nation...patriots don't necessarily do things for what they will see in return....such act of ridding the country of corrupt pple radically can't be for gain an return benefits
And if it's about getting something in return...its usually on the long run...
because when all the corrupt idiotss have peen weeded out, the pple that facilitated it can always find their way into power and have a good administration. That's why such kill squad will come from above and there's always ready reward when it's from above...I expected this buhari to have such a secret squad being a military leader and the kinda drive he came with to fight corruption...but all na wash..campaign strategy thing.

Like All this shout of Nnamdi Kanu and co...u think if he has the backing of powerful pple in nigeria and overseas support like the US and Uk..biafra won't have its way..

It saddens my heart that I have a connection with Benue state because of this man and the past governors of this state. The Tivs are thieves. They make Benue state a laughing stock Of the nation. What an I'll luck for the Idomas to be paired with this thieves (Tivs) with whom they do not share anything in common? I weep!

There's no way you could have spent this much in less than 2 months. The whole state didn't get flooded after all.

when you hear 9ja governors talking in parable like this,

you must know that the peoples commonwealth is in trouble!

I just pity myself and the Nigerian voters in many states....the govs. promise one thing before election but

changes gear when they enter govt house!...it is often the more they talk, the less you understand

that is now the usual 9ja rules voodoo against people...one truth 10 lies!!
