He commiserated with his Benue State colleague, Hyacinth Alia, the Och’Idoma, HRM John Elaigwu Odogbo, the family of the deceased, and the entire people of the state over the devastating loss.
The Governor prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased and comfort for all the loved ones he left behind.
