Samuel Ortom, the governor of Benue state, has denied ordering the beating of the ex-chairman of Ushongo local government, Joseph Asawa, at the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gboko.
Asawa had earlier claimed that the governor sponsored some hoodlums to beat him up for putting Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate’s shirt at the flag-off of the Benue Northwest senatorial campaign.
