The police have announced the arrest of 10
suspects allegedly involved in the failed attack on
the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

The Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP),
Usman Alkali, announced the arrest on Thursday at
a special briefing of State House correspondents at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“Those who organised and those who pulled the
trigger have all been arrested and investigation is
ongoing,” he said.

He said investigations so far show that the outcome is contrary to the claims made by the governor.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how Mr Ortom, in March,
stated that gunmen suspected to be herders
attacked him on his farm near Tyo-mu, along
Makurdi-Gboko Highway of Benue State.

The police chief said the suspects are still being
detained by the police without prosecution because
judiciary staff are on strike.

“We have had them for over a month but the courts
have been closed for over three months, where do I
take them to?” he said.

Let's see their faces please..

It may turn out to be that the people arrested are Ortom's people and not herdsmen..

There is a hidden agenda against this country called Nigeria. We have caught many people in the act (of terrorism) we thought were killer herdsmen..but after lifting the veil, we saw that they are actually indigenes...This shows some agents of destruction are behind these killings.

This security problem can only be solved if we give the local governments the power they deserve.

I hope so

So where are they?

Names please

I heard that when it is 25th of every month close to salary payment date Gov. Ortom will start shouting'Fulani herdsmen'.

The movie is about to start

Easy to predict.
Christian middlebeltters would be arraigned as the attackers... mostly from APC camp in Benue.

Then conspiracy theory begins

That was when he was in Apc.Not now, he doesn't owe workers.

HIGHESTPOPORI:

Says his SSA on Salary and pension.
He is still owing some salary arrears and pension. Local govt staff is even worse.

Besides why are you tracking Ortomatic failure with party affiliation as if he has not been crying of Fulani herdsmen even while he's in the APC.

As usual innocent people being Harangued

Story for the amadioha...

I thought Arewa youths said its a lie...he was never attacked

they will soon stage some stupid youths now as the attackers. we know all their evil masquerading.

Anything to exonerate foolanis from evil in Nigeria the foolanis Government is okay with it.
but we will not buy it.

Story story

Pictures and proofs else, I don't believe it

Pinshure or

If the narrative is different from what the governor said, then the police is playing pranks, and have most definitely arrested the innocent, who are also themselves victims of the Fulani agenda.

Go and look into a mirror, who you see is the culprit.

Police will definitely arrest Benue people in order to prove the wrong anyway.
