Yesterday,two protesting pensioners of Benue State slumped right inside the Government House in Makurdi while insisting Governor Samuel Ortom must pay them.
But the leader of the concerned pensioner, Mr. Kyado said no week passes without four to five pensioners dying in penury across the 23 local government areas of the state due to hardship arising from hunger, disease and starvation.
The victims who could be in their early seventies were amongst hundreds of pensioners who had storm Governor’s office for a peaceful protest staged by hundreds of pensioners to press home their over eleven months arrears owed them by the state government.
