Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom says his people are being pushed too
far by herdsmen who attacked residents of Agwabi village in Binev
Council Ward of Buruku local government area of the state last Friday
May 13th. In an interview with newsmen in Makurdi, the state capital
today May 16th, Ortom said;
“I didn’t become Governor to preside over dead bodies. No day passes
without the blood of the innocent spilled by rampaging gunmen! Our
people are being pushed too far by herdsmen! The old and the young have
been slaughtered, children separated from their parents and many people
chased out of their homes to sleep in the bush without food to eat. This
is genocide and I call on all Nigerians to condemn the invasion,
killings, destruction and occupation of Benue communities by herdsmen.”
