Benue Youth Urges EFCC To Probe Akume On Misappropriation

The Benue Youth Forum (BYF) has task the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), to probe the former Governor of Benue State and present Minister  of Special Duties,Sen. George Akume over the allegation of misappropriation of funds levelled against him by an audit query.

The BYF made the call through its President, Comrade Terrence Kuanum, in a media briefing Thursday in Makurdi while reacting to the recent audit query issued by the office of the Auditor General of Benue State .

Comrade Kuanum said, “we advise the Benue State Government to take the matter further to the courts and not limit it to EFCC investigation. This is a very serious corporate malfeasance against Benue State which must be redressed.

"We also want to warn that we will not accept anything short of justice on this matter. We won’t also accept a plea bargain or a political solution of any kind.

“We urge the EFCC to swing into action and get to the root of the matter so that justice will be done to the people of Benue State, bearing in mind that no one is above the law."
