President Muhammadu Buhari will today meet with Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom and other stakeholders from the state, in a bid to resolve the crisis sparked by the herdsmen killings.

No fewer than 73 victims of the herdsmen’s actions were buried at the weekend. Over 60,000 displaced persons are in five camps.

Audu Ogbeh said he would join his kinsman in the Villa to proffer the way forward on the killings in the state.

“Yes, they just called to inform me that the governor and his entourage would be coming to have a meeting with the president on the attacks on farmers in the state”, he said.

Also speaking ahead of the meeting, the state governor, Ortom, said he had ordered the arrest of those instigating the Tiv-Hausa clash or any form of ethnic crisis.

Ortom demanded the arrest of the leaders of Miyyeti Allah Kautal Hore, especially its President Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, and National Secretary Saleh Alhassan.

Ortom said: “We are meeting on Monday. The stakeholders are going to meet with the President. The stakeholders will see whatever the Federal Government is able to put on the table and if the stakeholders accept, I will abide by it.

“It is Benue stakeholders. It is at our own instance; we requested that we are going to meet with him.
