The newly elected Tor Tiv, Orchivirigh Prof. James Ayatse, is under heavy attack after pictures of his guests sitting on the floor during a courtesy visit to his home emerged on the internet.
It was reported that the Managing Director of Benue Investment and Property Company (BIPC), Mr. Jack Mulya, led delegates to the resident of the newly elected Tor Tiv, to show solidarity, but unfortunately the traditional ruler watched them sit on the floor while the chairs were empty.
The delegates despite the humiliation pledged their loyalty to the monarch, took a group photograph before leaving.
Nigerians upon seeing the pictures that went viral on the internet took to their social media accounts to criticise the Paramount ruler of Tiv nation for allegedly humiliating the high ranking delegates.
