The Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese has accused the Benue State Government of being responsible for the spates of killings in the state in the past few months.
Speaking to Punch, Agbese blamed Governor Hyacinth Alia for what he called his abandonment of the state anti-open grazing law which according to him has led to the increase in the killings of innocent citizens in recent times.
He argued that the House is committed to speaking against all forms of criminality in the country, particularly the killings of defenceless Nigerians and destruction of their property.
