{VIDEO} Benue Visit: Tinubu’s Convoy Trapped In Heavy Flood
The convoy of President Bola Tinubu was held up on Wednesday by heavy flooding along the Lafia-Makurdi expressway, as he made his way to Benue State for a crucial visit over the recent spate of violent attacks.
The President, who had earlier announced his decision to cut short other engagements in order to visit the troubled Benue state, was on his way when heavy flood caused a section of the road to become impassable.
In a vira video obtained by OSUN DEFENDER, the heavy flood swelled unexpectedly on the Lafia-Makurdi expressway, halting traffic including vehicles of the advance party in the presidential convoy.
Meanwhile, OSUN DEFENDER recalls that Tinubu’s visit to Benue state is aimed at directly assessing the damage and meeting with stakeholders following a resurgence of deadly attacks in Benue communities.
Scores of lives have been lost, with hundreds displaced in what many describe as one of the worst waves of violence in recent years.
