BY VICTOR BUORO – Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, who resumed duty on Wednesday after recovering from COVID-19 infection, declared the leadership of Miyetti Allah have questions to answer with regards to the increase in crimes allegedly carried out by herders across the country.
Ortom said that he made petition to the presidency and all security agencies before that if they want peace, the leadership of Miyetti Allah must be arrested.
This is just as he accused the Federal Government of failing to secure the country owing to its bias in handling cases of attacks allegedly carried out by armed herdsmen.
Ortom, who was reacting to the outcry against the atrocities allegedly committed by armed herdsmen ranging from kidnapping, murder, rape, destruction of farmland among others, challenged the Federal Government to take quick action before the nation slopes into crisis.
In his words; “The presidency must act fast because time is going. From the North-east, North-west, North-central, South-west, South-east, South-south, there is general insecurity and this is being propelled by herdsmen.
“These people have owned up, they have taken responsibility that they have killed, maimed, raped and yet their leadership is in Abuja and nobody is confronting them,” he stressed.
