The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has identified those behind the terrorist activities by the killer Fulani herdsmen who has been killing, raping, kidnapping and occupying ancestral communal lands of indigenous people in Benue state.
He urged the government of General Mohammadu Buhari (retd) to use the same efforts he applied in arresting and bringing back Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB); to arrest and prosecute the Miyeti Allah cattle breeders association. Miyetti Allah the umbrella body of the killer Fulani herdsmen who are rated as the world fourth most dangerous terrosits group according to Global Terrorism Index (GTI).
"In an interview monitored by Eastern Pilot, Governor Ortom berated the Government for being picky in the fight against insecurity in the country"
He said ''If Nnamdi Kanu can be arrested from a foreign land, I believe that if federal government will exhibit the same will, they will arrest Fulani herdsmen especially Miyetti Allah who have owned up to the killings in Benue State and have continued to terrorize our land.
"Governor Ortom went further to say, it is laughable and unfortunate when I heard that Miyetti Allah are calling Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist".
"Someone who is fighting for the liberation of his people is being called a terrorist by terrorist organization called Miyetti Allah and Fulani herdsmen".
"So Federal government should rise up to its responsibility and arrest Miyetti Allah leaders. I have no problem in the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, due process should be followed and let there be justice".
"If they have committed any offence, let there be justice, but the federal government must also do justice by arresting Fulani herdsmen who have been terrorizing our land, who have created so much problems and pains and challenges to our economy to our security to our unity, If Federal government doesn't do that; it means they are not serious''.
