Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has made a shocking confession…

“Recently there was case of a herdsman whose 57 cattle were killed and 50 rustled and was reported to me and I paid N10million and even up till today we have not apprehended the youths behind the attack, but if we see them we will arrest them.”

“But we had to pay just to allow peace to reign because if they come for reprisals those youths who did the evil will not be there. Those that would suffer will be vulnerable children, women and the elderly. So it’s a matter of simply listening to the instructions of government.”

“When you have leaders and you respect and follow them things will work out. There is no way we will allow lawlessness to prevail in the land because people there will bear the consequences.”
