Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has expressed regrets over the continued silence of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration over killings in Benue State by herders.<\/p>\n

Ortom insisted that the Federal Government was protecting killer herders who have continued to perpetrate unprovoked killings in Benue State.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this on Sunday in a chat with journalists shortly after he visited victims of herders\u2019 attacks on the Abagena IDPs camp who are receiving treatment at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been my pain since 2015. I have cried out that the Federal Government is complicit concerning the issues of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that pains me is that these people have never hidden their intentions, and they are known. I have written to DSS, I have written to the Police, and yet they are adamant. It is not possible that the killers are not known; they are known,\u201d Ortom insisted.<\/p>\n

According to the Governor, \u201cthe 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 this country\u2019s take-over into a Fulani nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
