BY: Tahav Agerzua Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has brought Orlu Dickson Pawa, the police officer who was Governor Gabriel Suswam's ADC back to Benue Peoples House. Pawa had resigned his position as a result of the frosty relationship between him and his principal. It was widely believed that part of the disagreement was on account of the officer's open support for Ortom's governorship aspiration which Dr Suswam didn't subscribe to. The police posted Pawa back to Lagos where he was serving before his appointment as ADC. Governor Ortom requested the services of Pawa as his Chief Security Officer, CSO, and the Inspector General obliged. The former ADC has also been promoted from Deputy Superintendent of Police to Superintendent. One of the first assignments which Ortom performed after he was sworn in was to decorate Pawa with his new rank. The First Lady, Chief Mrs Eunice Erdoo Ortom assisted with the decoration.
