Oyogist.com has learned that the Governor of Benue State, Gov. Samuel Ortom has urged residents of the state to obtain dane gun licences from local government areas for self-defence.
The Governor made this known while speaking at the interdenominational church service at the Chapel of Grace in Government House, Makurdi to round up a seven-day prayer and fasting programme for peace in the state.
“I’ll no longer announce the deaths of those killed by Fulani herdsmen, rise up and defend yourselves with weapons not prohibited by law, bows and arrows, spears and knives. Get licence for dane guns from local government Chairmen and use them to defend yourselves,” he said.
“God assured me some time back that as long as I lived within the circle of his presence, no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper,” he said Further.
