US Missionary Accuses Benue Govt Of Sabotaging Yelwata Rebuilding Effort [Video]

An American missionary has accused the Benue State Government of trying to frustrate his plan to help rebuild Yelwata village after it was attacked by bandits.

The missionary man said he proposed building a market for the community as part of the recovery effort.

However, according to him, the state government turned down his plan and later sent him a different market design estimated to cost ₦300 million.

The missionary argued that the amount was too high.

He maintained that the market could be built for ₦60 million or less and questioned why such a large sum was being suggested.

He also said he is not aware of any village market in Nigeria that should cost ₦300 million.

The missionary further alleged that some people are taking advantage of the hardship faced by residents affected by bandit attacks in Benue for their own personal benefit.
