Nasarawa State Governor Abdulallahi Sule has threatened legal action against Prof. Zachary Anger Gundu, the former Pro-Chancellor of Benue State University, Makurdi, for accusing him of masking the killings in Benue State.
In a viral video circulating on some social media platforms, Gundu was heard accusing Governor Abdullahi Sule of “masking the killings in Benue State” and “forcefully taking over farmlands belonging to the Tiv people of Nasarawa State and handing over the same to Fulani herdsmen”, among other allegations.
The governor threatened legal action against the former University Pro-Chancellor at a press conference addressed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Addra, in Lafia.
We challenge Prof. Gundu to prove his allegations with empirical evidence, detailing where the said killer herdsmen are being camped in Nasarawa State and the involvement of the governor in such. Bring forward concrete evidence to substantiate the grievous allegations of land seized and handed over to herdsmen or any other persons, for that matter.
“Failure to prove these allegations leaves Prof. Gundu with only one option…retract his malicious statements against Governor Sule and tender an unreserved apology to the governor and the Government of Nasarawa State,” Sule said.
The governor added that if this demand is not met, he will institute legal actions against the former Pro-Chancellor and his co-travellers.
