Professor Zacharys Anger Gundu, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mkar in Gboko, Benue State, has been issued a seven-day deadline to withdraw his accusations against Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.

Governor Sule has warned that he will take appropriate measures if the retraction is not made within the specified time frame.

The allegations made by the VC claim that the governor is contributing to the insecurity problems in Benue State.

In a letter dated July 22, 2025, the governor is insisting on a formal withdrawal of the remarks Gundu made during his appearance on News Central Television’s Town Hall Programme.

The demand was conveyed through a letter authored by Dr. Ahmed Raji, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who represented the governor. According to the letter, the Vice Chancellor’s statements have caused immeasurable harm to the governor’s reputation.

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.
