According to him, there was a rationalization exercise in the office to retire those due for retirement but he was unfortunately included in the list as he was only (25) years of age at the time working as the youth development assistant (III). Adding that although he and some others were reinstated for five months, still they got dismissed from service without the retirement benefits. Giving details of what happened to portray a case of administrative injustice. Consultant Iyke then calls the Benue state head of service on air and he picked but says he’s on transit and request to be called back the following day so Consultant Iyke suspends this man’s case until the following day to hear from the head of state in Benue state first then he opens the phone lines to briefly take calls and contributions over this case.

She says the police force have given her family 150,000 naira for burial ever since the incidence and withdrew the deceased money worth 500,000 naira and handed over to them saying after that, the police is yet to give the family any death benefit neither have they divulge the cause of his death to the family.
