According to report reaching oyogist.com, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom says the incessant killings in the state means that Nigeria does not have a government.
He lamented that over 70 people have been murdered in two weeks in Makurdi Local Government Area.
Ortom spoke to protesters on Tuesday at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Abagena village.
Suspected herdsmen, Monday night, killed citizens and wounded many others.
He said “What is happening now, to me, is very clear; Mr President is just working for these Fulanis to take over the whole country.”
“Fulani herdsmen”, stressing that “They are not bandits. They are Fulanis. We saw and heard them speak the language.”
“If the federal government had taken a proactive step, we will not be where we are. In the last two weeks, over 70 persons have been killed just in Makurdi Local Government Area alone.”
“Mr President must do the needful and I want to suggest that immediately, let there be a security summit. I am aware that the situation is prevalent in other parts of the country.”
On Monday, the police command in Benue State also confirmed the kidnap of three students of the Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi.
