Benue State Reportedly Buys High-Tech Vehicles From Innoson Motors For Security

Barely two weeks after Innoson Motors sued the Imo State government over a N2.1 billion debt, Benue State has reportedly taken delivery of high-tech vehicles from the indigenous car manufacturer for the recently launched security outfit, Volunteer Guards which is expected to fight insecurity in the state.

The Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom was seen taking one of the vehicles for a test drive during the launch.

Innoson Motors is an indigenous car manufacturing company in Nigeria which has made giant strides in the auto industry.

Nigerians have slammed the federal government for not patronising the Nigerian carmaker especially since it donated N1.14 billion worth of vehicles to the Niger Republic to boost security in the small West African country.

It was reported that the indigenous carmaker took the government of Imo state to court for its failure to pay it a debt of N2.5 billion after acquiring its vehicles which the state government replied that 70 per cent of the vehicles have broken down.
