NIGERIA - "Anything that can stop the killings of my people, I will go for it. I support it.
“Any policy or any directive, anything that will help stop the killing of these innocent people who are not armed, I will support it because this cannot continue.
“We know that the continuity of this will create greater challenges. I don’t want it to continue. We are struggling with economic issues, we are struggling with political issues and we are struggling with several other issues in this country, security issues and all that, Benue State should not be part of this, there is no need for it.”
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, speaking with the State House Correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja over the killings in his State.
The governor, however, said he would not support the Federal Government’s plan to establish cattle colonies until he understood the concept.
And President Buhari twitted:
"I just met with the Governor of Benue State. I assured Governor Ortom of our total commitment to the security of lives & property in Benue and elsewhere. We have deployed additional security resources to fish out the attackers, bring them to justice, and prevent further attacks."
