The Vice Chancellor of University of Mkar, Gboko, Benue State, Professor Zacharys Anger Gundu, has been given a seven-day ultimatum to retract allegations he made against Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.
Governor Sule is threatening to take action against the VC if he fails to retract the allegations within the period.
The VC had alleged that the governor was fuelling insecurity in Benue State.
The governor, in the letter dated July 22, 2025, is demanding a retraction of the statement made by Gundu on News Central Television’s Town Hall Programme.
A letter written by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Dr Ahmed Raji, on behalf of the governor, said the damage caused by the comments of the VC is unquantifiable.
Gundu had said, “The issue of Nasarawa State has come up and we know that even during Al-Makura’s time, Fulanis were coming there and attacking Benue State, and Al-Makura would call them international hunters. He would call them international hunters, inspite of the fact that Nasarawa State does not have an international hunting grounds, he would call them because he wanted to mask that. And even today, the governor of Nasarawa State, Sule, is also masking the problem.
“Now no other person in his right senses will ever say that the Fulanis who are killing and attacking us are coming from outside the country
“‘It is people like Sule, the governor of Nasarawa State, who is giving them haven, who is giving them refuge, who is getting the lands of his own citizens and giving it to these people.”
Governor Sule in the letter challenged the VC to provide evidence, and if he can’t, retract his claims within seven days with an apology, or face court action.
Sule said the VC’s claims have injured his reputation in the eyes and minds of right thinking persons in the society.
Parts of the letter read, “In the foregoing premise, our client hereby challenges you to provide evidence of your allegations therein against him, which has seriously injured his reputation in the eyes of right-thinking members of the society.
“Given the far-reaching ramification of your publication, our client will not sit back and watch his hard-earned reputation and goodwill destroyed by your malicious decision to not only lay false allegations against him, but also, to cause the same to be published for the world’s attention.
“Surely, the damage occasioned to our client by your deliberate but ill-advised action is unquantifiable.
“However, our client will be assuaged, if you retract the said publication and tender an unreserved public apology to him in at least 5 [five] national daily newspapers within 7 [seven] days of receipt of this letter. If not, we have our client’s further instructions to seek redress against you in a court of law where exemplary damages will be claimed against you. Kindly be advised.”
