Governor Ortom Samuel of Benue State has recounted how rampaging Fulani herdsmen dealt with him personally when they invaded his hometown in Guma, Benue State.

Speaking while receiving the council of APC governors in Markurdi on Thursday 26th May, Ortom lamented:

"The mercenaries invaded my village, killed over 50 persons and destroying over 200 hectares of my rice farm. As I am sitting here, I have no ancestral home, they killed children, old men and women in my community.

"The mercenaries come to Benue not just to graze but to steal, kill and destroy the livelihood of the agrarian people after which they take possession of the land knowing fully well that all we have here are our farms.

"The truth is that these attacks have brought a major setback to the people especially with our declining revenue from the federal allocation which was about N7 billion before i assumed office but this month stood at N1.3billion while our monthly wage bill stands at close to N4billion."

He's from Guma LG? that's where i did my youth service a decade ago. Now that the violence has reached his doorstep, he should be serious about it.

I stopped taking the middle belters serious after the constitutional conference conducted by Obasanjo administration. They are a bunch of people who know what they want but do not know what they need. All great leaders of middle belt extraction are pawns in the hands of the core northerners. When I remember that herdsmen have been attacking Plateau state with Gowan and co still around, I always shake my head in disbelief.

Listen 2dis spineless he goat wine n talk story all because his a governor in apc zombie instead of banning herds men any cow or mercineries or Fulani herdsmen should b shot on sight then we knw ur serious yeye dey smell

Stupid looking clown of a governor......this nama ddeserves to be impeached. Dey there dey lament like pikin wet dem collect im sweet......as if the herdsmen were invisible beings.
