Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, Director-General Press and Media Affairs to Gov. Mai Mala Buni, National Chairman APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), said this in a statement. Mohammed urged the media to resist any form of manipulation and stand for truth and justice at all times.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday called for an end to what he described as “the cycle of violence” in Benue and Anambra states.
In a statement signed by spokesman Garba Shehu, the President said the inclination for people to take law into their hands “in the name of revenge” will lead to “no winners . . . only losers.”
At least 11 people were killed in Gwer West Local Government of Benue State on Monday which apparently led to reprisals on innocent people by mobs that blocked roads to unleash terror and violence, according to the statement.
