The pensioners had, last week, vowed to protest the non-payment of their pension allowances and gratuities running to N28bn.
The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions some which read,
‘Ortom, pay us our 25 months pension arrears and gratuity, enough is enough,’
‘Governor Ortom has been out of Benue State for three weeks in the USA and Japan, what for?’
