Hoodlums have reportedly set ablaze the residence of a former Governor of Benúe State, Late Aper Aku, in Gboko area of the state.
The incident was said to have happened on Monday after the occupants were safely evacuated from the building.
A daughter of the late governor, Deborah Aku, told journalists in Makurdi that the Police rescued six of them early enough before the hoodlums burnt the house.
She explained that trouble began in March after a man came to the house with a cutlass and threatened to deal with them if his goat died again, claiming that he was told that his goat died after drinking water from their house.
