Samuel Ortom, Benue governor, says Terwase Akwaza, better known as Gana, who is alleged to be the most wanted criminal in the state, was intercepted by the army on his way to surrender.

Speaking with journalists on Tuesday after receiving some repentant criminals in the state, Ortom said he got a call that Gana was arrested in Gboko and immediately reached out to the army authorities.

The governor wondered why the army would arrest Gana because the security agencies are aware of the state government’s amnesty programme.

“It was around 4pm when we were waiting for the repentant militias that I received a call that Gana and others have been arrested close to Yandev roundabout in Gboko by soldiers,” he said.

“Many of the repentant militias had weapons in which they were bringing to surrender to us. The process of the amnesty programme was known to the security operatives, so I don’t know why they have to be arrested.

“Immediately I got the information, I ed the commander of Operation Whirl Stroke, General Yekini, who told me that they were carrying out an operation and promised to get back to me, so I am still waiting for him.”

But the governor’s runs contrary to that of the army.

Moundhey Ali, commander of ‘4 special forces command’, had told journalists that Gana was killed along Gbese-Makurdi road after an exchange of gunfire.

“At about 13:00 hours, there was an engagement with the convoy of Gana, a shoot-out ensued and the bandit was killed,” Ali told reporters.

The Gana man has long Departed the World.

Infact He has long gone to His Eternal Destination based on His Life before he kicked the Bucket!

There is No phone call or Connection no matter how Highly Placed that will bring Him back..

On that side Nobody is Respected for His Position, Experience or Authority..

The only ones Respected in that Side are those Whose Names are in the Book of Life..

Long story. The man is gone. Next level.

Thats how they took Boko haram leader, Dikko Yusuf and executed him publicly in 2010. Shekau took over and they have been fighting for 10 years

The governor's is 110% the true of what transpired.
The army said Gana was killed and hundreds of his militants captured when their convoy was intercepted at about noon.
We should ask ourselves how Gana,a wanted man with N10million ransom on his head,would brazenly go about at daytime with so many fellow militants with weapons.They were by the army's then confronted and he got killed while others were captured with no confrontation or casualty on the army's side!
Haba,some of these authorities give releases with the apparent assumption the same dumbskulls that voted Buhari are the same audience they are speaking or writing to.
The same army that have casualties anytime they confront barefooted or slippers wearing,untrained BH terrorists.
The same army and government that frees BH terrorists and even compensates them is the one now giving this clearly false of what happened.
The truth is that Gana and other militants must have been intercepted by the army,they apparently told the army their mission to government house to surrender ,which usually is made more dramatic with the surrender of some weapons,they apparently handed over their weapons to the troops;but someone still ordered Gana alone be shot dead.
Any other tale is cock and bull.
Gana was killed and he may have reaped the reward of his deeds,but not in a confrontation.

The Governor should be happy that One of those causing insecurity in the state is no more.. Except he knows something he is not telling us.

He who lives by the sword will surely die by the sword,I wonder why the government of benue state will give this story even if it's true,good riddance abeg. I wish this army killed all the Boko Haram that will come for amenesty, we don't need this people to keep reminding us of how they killed our loved ones.

My brother, the more you look the less you see

Note how the army could not do anything to him until he chose to surrender

Chai

Nigerian army, always killing in armed civilians

I have mixed feelings on this.

I'm not happy because he wasn't killed in a gun duel, neither was he captured.

He was snatched from the convoy of traditional rulers and Bishop in charge of Katsina-Ala LGA of Benue State.
My worker witnessed the killing life and direct.

Modified...

The governor's is correct. The military got information that he surrendered after pleas and promises of his safety by the traditional rulers and catholic bishop in charge of Katsina-Ala LGA. The army mounted a stop and search roadblock at Yandev, Gboko, it was PLANNED. They brought him out of the car he was in (He was with the LGA chairman in the same vehicle).
They delayed the convoy while they hastily took him away as if they were bringing him to govt house. Less than 2 minutes drive from there, still on the high way, they pulled him out of the vehicle, faced him down on the road and Special Forces including Military men opened fired on him there before throwing him back to the car.

We can now see that the state Governor is the one sponsoring violence in the state through this criminal

So you the violence in the state.

Ortom has been suspicious about his romance with Gana

So only Gana was killed by the army?

Sir Ortom, what happened to rest of the criminals who were on there way for amnesty?

Now, this is true of what transpired. The lying idiots in Nigerian army should know henceforth only Buhari dogs believed their made up stories.

What I dont is for the authorities to disregard the rule of law and engage in the extra-judicial of anyone

Rule of law, when the criminal was killing and kidnapping innocent victims did he obey the law of the country.

2many killings in the land

Gana isn't a one man mopol, others would continue the atrocities,
The army only frustrated the efforts of Ortom,
The army has been chasing those boys for over 5years now, the army are the one getting killed instead, is 5years not enough to give to the army to end banditry?
The governor now said since confrontation by army did not work, let me explore the option negotiation, and the option was about to be fruitful because the bandits has agreed to cease fire and surrender arms,
But I guess the army are not ready to let go their allowances and wants to continue receiving their share of Ortoms security vote,
The army frustrated the efforts to end insecurity in Benue, they prefer to continue running in the bush and be getting their war front allowances,
End the banditry you cannot end it, a peaceful resolution you frustrated it,
Everything is just confusing right now.

Ofcourse he will berate the army for taking out his no.1 assasin , the leader of his militias.
All that gibberish by shameless idiots who don't even reside in the middle belt should be ignored. Go to benue nd ask the locals who suffered in the hands of gana not some slowpoke with cheap data in abia pulling out lies from his anus to decieve people cuz it suits his imaginations.

Yusuf BH founder was killed over 10 years ago , you can see that the army are overwhelmed already by bokoharam,
Sometime let apply wisdom, Gana isn't a one man mopol

Fvck the rule of law!
That demon mass murdered entire villages, even women nd children were not spared.... If it was shekau gunned down on his way to collect amnesty would u cry rule of law??
Some demons r best shot on sight, let god judge them!
Wht nonsense...

Fulani herdmen agenda

All this grammar just because of the liquidated criminal I wonder where we're going in this country.

poiunt:


Rule of law, when the criminal was killing and kidnapping innocent victims did he obey the law of the country.

And the constitution has said that such person, if apprehended, has right to life and should be put through to the due process of the law. If the authorities cannot keep the law then who should?

Someone has surrendered, laid down his arms, submitted himself to the authorities. Rather than follow the law, the authorities turn into assassins. Terrible

Jukun people will now experience peace in their land.
