Benue State Government has announced a N10m
reward for anyone who volunteers information leading to the arrest of a
notorious criminal, Terwase Akwaza, also known
as Gana.
He was declared wanted after he allegedly
killed Governor Samuel Ortom’s Special Assistant on Special Security Denen
Igbana.
He was also linked to the recent massive
attacks and killings on Zaki Biam town in Ukum local government area where over
17 people were shot dead in broad daylight.
Ortom announced the bounty yesterday at the
burial of Mama Kwaghnzuul Naikyo Degarr, the mother-in-law to Secretary to the
State Government, Professor Anthony Ijohor, at Tse-Degarr in Mbajir, Shitile,
Katsina-Ala local Government Area.
He explained the upward review of the reward
from N5 million will be formalised at the next State Security Council meeting.
He restated the resolve of his administration
to expose criminals and advised the people against shielding hoodlums in their
midst.
The governor said those with useful security
information should contact relevant authorities and gave assurance such
informants would be protected.
