Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue
State, has disclosed that people of the state are still in fear of more attacks
from Fulani herdsmen.
Speaking when he received some
governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Friday in
Makurdi, the state capital, Ortom alleged that some communities are still under
siege of Fulani herdsmen.
The governor said the fear of the
people was due to the continuous threat by the herdsmen who keep issuing daily
threat to take over Benue land.
Ortom said, “We thank God that
peace is gradually returning to the state but there are still pockets of
challenges here, we know the challenges will soon be over because our people
are always alert to give useful information to security operatives around.
“Let me tell you that our people
are still living in fear and under siege, living in fear because of the series
of threats by Kautal Hore which started the threat since seven months ago, they
are not mere threat.
“We have evidence against them,
what we are saying is that the federal government should arrest the leadership
of Kautal Hore”.
The delegation led by the Borno
State Governor, Shetima Kashim, also had in attendance Simon Lalong of Plateau,
Mallam El-Rufai of Kaduna, Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Mohamad Abubakar of Jigawa
State as well as the deputy governor of Osun state, Chief Mrs Grace Titilayo
Tomori.
