We Will Hold You Responsible If Anything Happens To Ortom – Group Tells IGP by gentlezypher: 7:56am On Feb 10, 2018 |
A civil society group, the Sanctity
Transparency Peace Initiative
(STPI) has warned the police to
ensure nothing negative happens
to Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom in the wake of altercation between him and the police top
hierarchy. Ortom and the Inspector General
of Police, Ibrahim Idris, had
exchanged words after the police
boss blamed the anti-open grazing
law in the state for the herdsmen
crises. The Police Force Public Relations
Officer, Jimoh Moshood, had also
incurred widespread
condemnation after he described
the governor as a “drowning man”. But in a communiqué issued after
an emergency meeting on Friday,
the Abuja-based group queried
the rationale behind the FPRO
calling a sitting governor a
drowning man, saying it was a sign of complicity with the herdsmen
attacking some communities in
the state. While condemning the IGP’s initial
statement describing the crises
as communal clash, the
communiqué signed by the
group’s National Coordinator, Mr.
Sunday Alakho, also faulted the IGP for blaming the anti-open
grazing law. The group wondered if there was
an anti-open grazing bill in
Plateau and some other states
also attacked by herdsmen. The group further demanded a
public explanation for the
“drowning man” appellation,
saying it could be interpreted to
mean the safety of the governor
was endangered. STPI called on the police boss to
publicly pronounce that Ortom is
save. |
