He was earlier scheduled to visit the Tor-Tiv, Professor James Ayatse and also visit the Exercise Cat Race Camp including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camps in Gbajimba, Guma LGA headquarters.
A former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday emphasised the need for leaders in the country to take responsibility for killings in Benue State, in a bid to put an end to the unjustifiable loss of lives.
"It is sad beyond description and that is why I have taken it upon myself, haven been to Maiduguri where we had a meeting of Zero Hunger Forum".
He regretted that the investment and development can not take place in a chaotic atmosphere because investors would be unwilling to invest in such places. "They must leave no stone unturned to find what is the root cause of this and put a stop to it", Obasanjo said.
