He stated: “No going back on this matter. It doesn’t matter; if I perish I perish. With all the threats against me. If I perish, I perish. I’m just like Shedrack, Mishack and Abednego. “Last week I was told that people were hired from Sudan to come and eliminate me…”

“I remain committed to the service of my people. I’m committed because they elected me and I will do their bidding. No one will intimidate me and make me stop until justice is given to our people in Benue state.
