According to him: “My attention and that of the Ngbo people have been drawn to the unwarranted, frivolous and fictitious report that a man from Agila in Ado LGA of Benue was beaten by a group of boys from Ngbo man at the Okwor market.

“This report is capable of throwing the areas into serious tension and I call on our people and the Agila people to disregard the publication.

“Nothing like that happened as on the alleged day at the Okwor market, Agila people in their numbers were seen trading and buying wares”.

He noted that the Agila people traded with joy and conviviality as they walked from point to point in an atmosphere of friendship and love.

“The number of Agila people sleeping over in Ngbo today is more than 15 and we warn the fictitious writer in strong terms not to cause problems between Ngbo and Agila with his write-ups.

“Such write ups fuelled the fatricidal Effium/ Ezza Effium fatricidal conflict as this writer who is from Ezza-Effium, can no longer go to his village.

“He should not write to inflame the whole area but write to entrench peace and harmony among the people”.

The lawmaker said that the writer of the news was being warned for the last time to desist as any further malicious publication will be be addressed by every legal means by Ngbo people. (The Nation)
