Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom who was recently attacked by gunmen suspected to be herders on his farm near Tyo-mu, along Makurdi-Gboko Highway has cried out to Nigerians.

He said; “You know Saturday is normal as a farmer, I usually go to my farm, so I went to my farm along Gboko road. And on our way back, we started hearing some gunshots and we discovered people who were dressed in black, and from experience, we now discovered that these are Fulani militias.”

“And I do not want to take things for granted because few days ago, the media were awash with statement from MACBAN who met in Yola, the same place they met in 2016 where they decided that they will take Nigeria and that every other person is a slave; that was when they started infiltrating the entire country.”

“They came out to target me and behind the scene they are planning to eliminate me on my own land. If I can’t go to the farm as governor, with the entire security around me, then who else can go to farm? You can imagine the pains that we have here in Benue State.”

“I appreciate the security personnel attached to me; they were able to repel them and they could not have access to me.”
