While he is known as a defender of his people outside Benue, people in the state hate him for his wickedness. A governor who leaves pensioners and workers to starve to death.
Well, Ortom is known for buying every available land for himself around Benue and it seems that was exactly what he went around a river to do but was chased away by youth of the community. This was posted by one of the community members shortly before Ortom came to his media house (channels tv) to talk about herdsmen attack.
Others said it was another of his lies to gain sympathy support for 2023 senate seat, while some other people questioned why the incidence wasn't recorded

Which version of the story are we going to believe now?

Quite revealing!

It is now left for security agencies to conduct their investigation and tell Nigerians what really happened.

You know how it works in the country. If the security agencies say anything contrary to Ortom's story, his hailers and sympathisers will say it is a ploy by FG to cover up

Crap!

All they need do is silence his hailers with evidence.

APC should call Ortom out to provide evidence.

The post below is apt. FG will still get the stick no matter what comes out of the investigation.

Truly, the buhari government has been subdued by terrorists and other criminal elements! They have been cowed! Why won't they?

The head is clueless.

APC is an association of strange bedfellows who have no faith in their party. It's may implode any moment.. therefore loot what you can while it lasts!

Government now cares about sentiment before going after criminals or ordering an investigation.

Nigeria is a failed state!!

It doesn't matter, doesn't make any difference. His hailers are people from other states. Benue people know what happened and they know who their governor is
