Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom on Thursday declared that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris
is a “bad influence on President Muhammadu Buhari, having turned himself to the
mouthpiece and defender of the herdsmen.”
Ortom made the remark while
receiving his counterpart from Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose in Makurdi on
Thursday.
He insisted that the police boss
be fired, over his inability to handle the crisis between herdsmen and farmers.
The governor also maintained that
restructuring of the country remains the panacea to this present
“maladministration and open bias of the security agencies.”
Speaking further, Ortom said all
cattle farmers in the state must embrace cattle ranching, stressing that “No
retreat, no surrender on the total implementation of the State anti-grazing
law.”
The governor chided the Police
and the Minister of Defense for allowing called strangers to display arms
openly and kill people.
He insisted the relocation of
Idris was a ruse, saying, “the IGP came just once and ran back to Abuja
insulting me and dancing on the graves of the innocent people of Benue State.”
The governor said the security
agencies have “allowed herdsmen to take over the business of kidnapping and
killings and were being protected by the IGP.”
