A statement released by Nathaniel Ikyur, the chief press secretary to the governor said made the allegation while speaking with journalists after visiting victims of Sunday, January 22, herdsmen attack on the Abagena IDPs camp who are receiving treatment at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.

Ikyur noted that Ortom who was visibly saddened by what he saw said he has continued to cry out about the atrocities of the herdsmen since 2015.

The governor was quoted saying:

“This is my pain, since 2015, I have cried out loud that the Federal Government is complicit to the issues of terrorism raising Fulanis in Niger from Futa Jalon (Senegal), Cameroon, Mauritania and Libya and other parts of the world so that they will come to Nigeria and take it and make it their country.

“One thing that pains me is that these people have not hidden their intentions and they are known. The Federal Government is protecting them. I have called for the arrest of the leadership of Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre several times.”

Governor’s approach to Presidency

Further speaking, Ortom said he has written to the presidency, the State Security Service and the police and they have all been adamant about his claim.

His added:

“I have written to the Presidency. I have written to DSS, I have written to the Police, and yet they are adamant. It is not that these people are not known, they are known.

“The day that the Federal Government wants these acts of terrorism against our people to end, that will be it. But for now, they are complicit. They are working with them to push for the take-over of this country and make this country a Fulani nation.

“I am quoting the Fulani National Movement, I am quoting Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre who are responsible for this recruitment and killings that are going on. No one has attempted to even call these people and question them and do the needful. If we are a country that believes in the rule of law, this will not continue.”

Expressing disappointment over the continued invasion and killings of Benue citizens by the terrorists, Ortom said the people of Benue state are fed up with this kind of lawlessness that is going on.

Some of the victims included 14-year-old Emberga Ukpoor whose hand was cut-off, Terna Ikyaan shot in the abdomen, Kwaghve Terkimbi, 14 with his ear chopped off, Agber Ikyume, Regina Gbashaor, Eunice Iyua were inflicted with various degrees of injuries while an aged woman, Esther Num was shot at and the bullet penetrated her waist.

I can end banditry in Nigeria, says Governor Ortom
