BENUE MILITIA : AFTERMATH OF THE KILLING OF "GANA'', WIFE DEMANDS COMPENSATION.













By  NOSA EKHATOR.






As dust generated by the killing of Terwase Akwaza popularly called GANA ceases to settle, his wife, Mrs Wantor Akwaza, is demanding the sum of  N5 billion as compensation  from the Federal government for the killing of her husband by soldiers.

SPARKNEWSNAIJA authoritatively quotes  Benue State governor, Ortom on Wednesday as saying that "Gana had surrendered when he was removed from a vehicle in a convoy and shot dead by soldiers."

‎Mrs Akwaza told journalists that "the Federal government  should investigate the circumstances surrounding her husband’s death, while demanding compensation.

“I was in Makurdi when they called to inform me of the incident she said, stressing that "Senator Gabriel Suswam went to meet him on Saturday because when they went for him on the second amnesty issue, he said if he did not see Suswam, he was not going to come out. That until Suswam comes around, he will not believe that the amnesty is true."


“This is because he said that when he first came out for the first amnesty, the government betrayed him, so until he sees Suswam, he wouldn’t come out.‎"

“So Suswam went there to meet him and assured him that he was part of it and that he has arranged everything, that he spoke to the federal security agencies and they had given him (Agwaza) amnesty and that nothing will happen to him", she said.

“So, they went to Akume Atongo Stadium in Katsina Ala to meet with the chiefs and then surrender their weapons. After addressing them, they were going to Makurdi to finalise the amnesty at Government House. But on his way, the soldiers came and snatched him and killed him."

“After the initial amnesty he went back into the bush. When the second amnesty programme started, he was briefing me about the development.


“I spoke with him on Saturday and he told me that he was going for the amnesty and that he is tired of the life he was living. That if the amnesty is genuine, he want to surrender his life to God and work for Him", Mrs Agwaza narrated stressing that “My husband was not a wicked person."
