Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, was stoned while trying to calm protesters at Wurukum in Makurdi, capital of the state, on Wednesday.

The protesters, who were aggrieved as a result of the fresh killings by suspected herdsmen, also booed Ortom, who had earlier raised the alarm over the attack.

The governor had gone to placate the restive youth who vowed to remain on the streets until a decisive action is taken against the attackers.

The soldiers drafted to quell the protest and prevent mayhem are finding it difficult to control the crowd.
