Before the decision of the Supreme Court on the tussle of the Benue Governorship, the Benue State Police said they are fully prepared to preserve peace and protect life and property.

It’s gathered the party and its candidate are also praying the court to set aside Ortom’s victory and declare Jime winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship elections.

Jime and the APC lost their bid to upturn the elections at the Governorship Election and Petitions Tribunal and at the Appeal Court, where their petitions were thrown out.

NAN reports that the Supreme Court is delivering judgment on the matter today.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Benue, Mrs Sewuese Anene, told NAN on Tuesday in Makurdi that police operatives were already ” out there to maintain law and order”.

” We are well prepared; we won’t tolerate any breakdown of law and order,” Anene warned

Also speaking to NAN, the Coordinator of the Foundation for Justice Development and Peace, Rev.Fr Remigius Ihyula, sued for calm and absolute trust in God in the outcome of the Supreme Court verdict.
