3 Pensioners Dead, One In Coma, Following Indefinite Sleep Over Protest In Benue by Arnold777(op): 10:54am On Sep 08, 2019
One of the protesting pensioners staging an indefinite sleep over protest at the gate of Government House, Makurdi (Government House IDP Camp), over nonpayment of their 25 months pension arrears has just collapsed during their Sunday service prayers session this morning (08/09/2019).

The collapse senior citizen has been rushed to the hospital by his colleagues as at the time of filing this report.

An unconfirmed reports also has it that about 3 of them had died as a result of cold from their sleep over protest in the rain.

The thunder that will fire Ortom's holy spirit is now warming up! The pensioners started the protest on 4th September, 2019 and have vowed that they will not leave the gate until the receive credits alert on their Bank accounts for their pension arrears of 25 months.

I see no reason why a Man or woman would prefer to sleep outside this rainy season at the detriment of his/her health. Your health should be your priority. Nothing is worth dieing for. The government doesn't care about us, let's learn to use our head.

Hear yourself bro.
People died for Nigeria independence, If only we all are ready to die for just course like this, then we can have the Nigeria we all dream of.

If they stay @home they die, so it's better they die trying to make a difference than die doing nothing.

This pension is not government money, it's their monies deducted during active service, why then should they find it difficult to pay them after forceful retirement?




This Governor is just so heartless.

He forces people to retire and refuses to pay pension and gratuities.
Last month that he managed to pay salaries, he refused to pay some primary school teachers; reasons been that;
(1)they were underage(somebody that have worked for over 10-30years o)
(2)that they are ghost workers(someone that is a ghost worker will have a staff ID card?)
(3) That their names were erroneously omitted from the payroll(they usually prepare fresh payrolls by January of every year, how come someone that collected June salary is been omitted in July Pay voucher?)
(4) that they are due for retirement(in civil service commission; one should retire either by age or years of service but if you carefully check those he forcefully retired, they are not due using any of the two options above)

THE QUESTION NOW IS; IS ORTOM ON REVENGE MISSION?

Because the primary school teachers voted massively against him for owing them 1yr salaries and almost 4yrs leave bonuses.

I am certain that the Holy Spirit will definitely deliver their petition to God
