Speaking to our correspondent on phone ,the Council boss Naantuam described as false, baseless, unfounded the rumours making the rounds on the social media that Governor Simon Lalong is plotting to install an emir .
In his words ” This is clearly the handwork of mischief makers and crisis merchants who are determined to instigate crisis and generate a breach of the peace that is currently prevailing in the State.”
Speaking further , the Council boss said ,what happened in Shendam on Friday morning was that there were plans to install a ward head in Yelwa and this did not go well with citizens of the local government and some youths stormed the Palace of our traditional ruler to protest , unfortunately the protest was highjacked by hoodlums who blocked some major roads to the council.
The Council boss Naantuam further added that lasting peace has been restored to the council ,
“As I speak to you at the moment people are going about their normal business “.
Those rumours are pure Lies ,there is no how our Governor of Plateau state ,Simon Lalong would install an emir in Shendam local government council, so I am calling on citizens of the state to disregard the fake news,he added .
