Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has commended President
Muhammadu Buhari for directing security agents to shoot anyone illegally
bearing AK47 rifles.
Recall that Buhari also directed the suppression of bandits
who have refused to surrender.
Reacting, Ortom who spoke during a function at the Benue
Peoples House, Makurdi stated that the Buhari’s order would reduce the level of
criminality, banditry and militia herders’ attacks on Benue communities as well
as other parts of the country.
According to the Governor, the order would also make the communities safer for displaced farmers to return to their ancestral homes.
“I wish to commend Mr. President for his recent order
against those bearing AK47 rifles. This I am sure will reduce the high rate of
criminality, banditry and militia herdsmen attacks on our farming communities,”
the Governor stated.
He noted that President Buhari had done the right thing by
listening to the calls he and other concerned Nigerians made on the need for
the Federal Government to act faster and decisively to save the country from
degenerating into a state of anarchy.
“I don’t only criticise, I also commend where necessary. And
I want to say shame on those psychopaths who were bashing me for writing to Mr.
President because he has finally heeded my advice,” he added.
