An American missionary has accused the Benue State Government of intentionally hindering his efforts to rebuild Yelwata village following a recent bandit attack.
According to him, he attempted to construct a market for the people of Yelwata, but the government rejected the proposal and instead sent him a market blueprint valued at ₦300 million.
He insists the project can be completed for no more than ₦60 million.
He also claimed that there’s no market in any Nigerian village that is worth N300m.
The missionary further alleged that certain individuals are exploiting the suffering of Benue indigenes affected by bandit attacks for personal gain.
