…Livestock Guard member abducted and killed as anxiety mounts in Benue

Governor Samuel Ortom has disclosed that he narrowly escaped death when suspected armed herdsmen shot at him in his farm at Adeke along Makurdi-Naka road.

This is just as suspected armed herdsmen reportedly abducted and killed a member of the state’s Livestock Guard in Ado Local Government Area, LGA.

The Governor, yesterday in a live radio programme monitored in Makurdi said he had gone to his farm in the outskirts of Makurdi town few days ago when armed herdsmen besieged the vicinity and open fire.

According to him, “just last week I was in my farm that is situated in the outskirts of Makurdi town when armed herdsmen came there and shot at me.

“They also shot at the vehicle of our Livestock Guards who came there and shattered it. We had to call the joint military security team, Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS, who came and saved the situation,” he added.

The Governor lamented that in the influx of armed herdsmen into the state had become a source of concern and worry and needed to be check urgently.

He said “We are doing everything possible to arrest the situation. This people are deliberately coming into the state. And I have always maintained the armed herdsmen, ISWA, ISIS and Boko Haram are the same thing and they are out to prosecute the same agenda.

“There is no two ways about that. Even when we went for the North Central Security meeting l told them the same thing. Miyetti Allah leadership should also be arrested because majority of all the kidnappings you see around are carried out by armed herdsmen.

Hope you are not this dumb. This same people you reply work hand in hand with the perpetrators. They quickly come online to counter such claims. The goal is to sway public opinion to toe in line with their propaganda.

Could there be any disassociation between being a Christian and going against anything Fulani?

The moment we stop ethnicity stigmatisation and condemnation the best for the growth of this Nation.

Mr Governor, it unfortunate you found your middle belt brothers and sisters infiltrated by the Fulani people.
They have Plateau state already in their pocket. The agenda is real. forget about the religion aspect of it.
The Fulanis are the ones giving Islam a bad name. The Fulanis are the same people as the Boko Haram, ISWP and what have you.

They hide under the religion to press their agenda. We have Muslims in Yoruba land, why are they not unleashing terror in the whole SW?
Forget the rhetorics, The killers are the Fulanis
it's only when SS, SE, SW and NS come together and chase these criminals out of this country then we can have Peace.

Imagine a governor being attacked then what is the fate of the common man.

These People are giving credibility to Biafran agitation.
They want to Use hope Uzodinma to achieve their aim in Igbo land
but I know Igbos are smatter than them.
