Reports say the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has frozen the account of the Benue State government.
It was gathered that the anti-graft agency gave the order late last night.
Confirming the development, Terver Akase, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Samuel Ortom said it was part of an agenda to cripple the state.
“Yes, it is part of the evil agenda to cripple the state. It is only in Benue that the EFCC is probing the security vote of the governor,” he said.
The development came few days after Ortom who has been having a running battle with the presidency especially over the spate of killings in the state, dumped the All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party.
