Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Mr Hyacinth Dajoh, said no invader would succeed in taking their land.
Dajoh made this statement, on Tuesday, when he visited the displaced Yelwata refugees at the Ultra Modern International Market in Makurdi, the state capital.
The speaker said their land was given to them by God and nobody can take it from them, assuring the displaced persons that God would help the government to resettle them in their ancestral homes.
The speaker said that they came to identify and console them, assuring that the ugly incident would not repeat itself.
Dajoh also urged the Executive Secretary, State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, Dr James Iorpuu, to do his work diligently so that posterity would judge him right.
He stressed that if he does otherwise, nemesis would catch up with him after he exited office.
“If you serve the displaced persons without indulging in sharp practices, good luck will follow you even after you leave office.
“But bad luck will follow you if you deprive them of what is due them,” Dajoh said.
