Governor Ortom responding to the letter the president sent to the Senate on his measures to curtail killings in Benue State, said in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Tahav Agerzua that: “Though the President has drafted the IGP to Benue state to stop the killings, that is certainly not enough. The killings is still going on.”

“We cannot say he had done enough because he had notice of these killings a long time ago when these people held a press conference and threatened to invade the state the Governor wrote to him severally.”

“Our tribal leaders also raised alarm and made appeals and also wrote an open letter to the President over the matter and before the new year days killings. He has not done enough, though the killings have reduced but he has certainly not done enough.”
