Gov Ortom demands release of 40 repentant militias arrested by military after killing of Gana

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has urged the military to set free 40 repentant militias it arrested and kept in custody after killing Terwase Akwaza, alias Gana.

The governor, equally called on the military to release some official vehicles it purportedly confiscated.

Gana, a notorious criminal and the 40 other militias had accepted Governor Ortom’s amnesty to criminals in the state and were being transported with the official vehicles to the government House in Makurdi when they were stopped by the military.

Gana was shot dead while the other 40 militias and the vehicles were reportedly arrested by the military.

Speaking to newsmen on Friday, after a five-hour security meeting at the Government House Makurdi, Ortom said the call for the release of the repentant militias was important to enable them embrace the amnesty programme of the state government.

He said, “It is the resolve of this meeting, the expanded State Security Council meeting, that the repentant youths who were arrested by the military should be released so that they will continue from where they were coming to receive their amnesty and they were arrested.

“Also items that were confiscated, we are also appealing to the military to return them. Some of those vehicles were hired, some are official vehicles to our government officials. Some other things are documents. We appeal that all these be returned to us.”

The military had claimed that Gana was killed following a firefight on September 8, but Ortom maintained that soldiers snatched him from a government convoy conveying repentant militants in Gboko.

The governor, who said the Sankara people and the state were pained by the incident, however, noted that there was nothing anyone could do to bring back the dead to life.

He, therefore, called on the people of the state to cooperate with the security agencies particularly the military.

The governor added that the state government would continue to engage the military in its efforts to get better clarification on the true incident that led to Gana’s death.


Ortom said, “We are going to find out the truth of what happened. That is what the entire stakeholders here are demanding to know because from the press statement and information to us gives us a cause to worry.

“We have resolved to move on and continue to interphase with the military and other security agencies to ensure that this kind of ugly incident does not happen again.”

Ortom is a fool.

I remember how he promised a fake amnesty when he was sworn in as an APC governor to Gana and other Tiv militias which saw to them handing their guns over to the army and police only for the demons in Aso Rock to draft their Jihadist herdsmen to swoon in on Benue.

Again he repeated his foolishness and the Jihadist army betrayed that agreement .

Fulanis and their Yaribanza Muslim cohorts are now celebrating the death of Gana because it paves way for their cowardly Jihadist onslaught.

Benue is about to get raped big time again because of this fool.

So that he can empower them with a sophisticated weapon. And teach them how to attack in another dimension.

A terrorist to the fulani jihadist government of one Nijeriya is a freedom fighter in my book.

Gana did no wrong.

Even Samuel Ortom? What is really wrong with leadership in Nigeria? These wicked leaders breed this evil not regarding who it consumes.Nigeria has no notion of justice and morality.The best we do is to appease genocidal maniacs.BH terrorists, Fulani killers, Militants, unknown gunmen, bandits etc all have sponsors.

I supported the actions of the army until someone reminded me about the rule of law and international best practices. These were repented criminals who accepted amnesty willingly, why round them up and kill one of them while pampering Boko Haram and bandits?

FG never talk wetin Dem dey find for Benue state.

Benue has seen enough nightmare. the security forces should allow Benue people to solve their problem. killing a man who has surrendered is a crime.
