PRESS STATEMENT

Rev John Pofi, JP has described the most recent attack which led to the death of Rev fathers Joseph Gor and Felix Tyolaha as well as many worshippers as  barbaric, inhuman and animalistic which does not speak well of the country.

The Governorship Aspirant who was saddened by the callous act, made a passionate appeal to the federal government to restructure the security architecture of Benue state so as to rescue the lives of the remaining people of the state.

In a statement signed by the media officer, John Pofi Campaign Organisation, Philip Jibi, Rev John Pofi wondered why a group of mercenaries will be more powerful than the federal might as he called on states to begin to strengthen, support and encourage internal security like vigilante to safeguard the lives of their people.

Rev John Pofi, JP called for vigilance and restraint from those whose relations were killed and injured, though very painful to leave vengeance to God.

The plateau state Governorship hopeful also prayed to God to bring an end to the massacre of innocent citizens in Benue and his state plateau and also to expose them.

The statement also called for vigilance on the part of the residents believing that tears may last through out the night but joy will surely come in the morning.
