Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has condemned in strong terms, the incident at Modern Market, Makurdi, Friday when some youths stormed the market to harass traders they identified as Muslims.
The Governor says no one has a right to prevent others from worshipping where it pleases them.
He charges security agencies to fish out the culprits and apprehend them for prosecution.
Governor Ortom further warns the youths to avoid acts capable of creating tension as anyone found fomenting trouble will be brought to justice.
