Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has reiterated his call
on the Federal Government to include Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN and Fulani Nationality Movement,
FUNAM on the list of terrorist groups in Nigeria.
Recall that the Federal Government through the office of the
Attorney General of the Federation had approached a Federal High Court sitting
in Abuja to designate bandits as terrorist organisations which the court
obliged.
But Governor Ortom while speaking on Friday, in Makurdi at
the wedding between Barristers Agatha Msurshima Tyokyaa and Uhamber Bamber,
said the bandits being mentioned are mostly from Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore,
MACBAN and FUNAM and so they should be designated as terrorist groups as well.
While commending the Federal Government for considering the
option of designating bandits as terrorists, he suggested that “this should
also include Miyetti Allah and FUNAM groups on the list.”
He said, “I want to commend the Federal Government for being
bold to designate bandits as terrorists. But I call on the government to also
include Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association,
MACBAN and Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM in the category of terrorists
because those bandits are their members,” the Governor stated.
The Governor urged Benue people to support security agencies
with useful intelligence in the fight against criminality and other forms of
insecurity, pointing out that security is everyone’s business.
