In a statement by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said it will be a terrible falsehood to suggest he was ever informed by the Governor or anyone else of the imminence of the killing of citizens of our country in those or any other local governments in Benue State.
He said he warned Buhari about 17 months ago of the possibility of the development in a private memorandum.
The governor disclosed this on Sunday when he visited the camps in the two Local Government Areas of the state.
