The Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has suspended the operations of livestock guards and the state para-military agency saddled with the enforcement of the state open grazing for a period of two weeks to allow all herdsmen with livestock in the state to leave.

Ortom disclosed this at the end of the state security council meeting on Tuesday after over 130 persons were gruesomely killed across the state within one week.

He said the suspension was to show a good fate to all those who claimed to have come into the state without knowing there is Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law of 2017 that is solely anti-grazing.

He also said security agencies in the state have confirmed the receipt of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)’s directive to fish out perpetrators of the mass killings across the state.

He beseeched the security agencies to act fast on the matter in order to bring victims of the attack some form of justice.

Who will arrest them?
Since they have been operating, killing, maiming, looting, and raping, how many of them had been arrested?

Please, let's stop this politics played with human lives. Where the bodies of 130 people are buried will know souls were wasted for nothing.

Ortom is no administrator.

Well, I return that to you. Your family will actually make the list if that's what you wish for me; like your shell is not in the country.
How many of them have been arrested? Tell me!?
They operate with audacity and impunity and here you are spilling nonsense.
Don't get me pissed this morning.

TO ALLOW THE FH TO KILL MORE OF US.

Can't he sue FG to Supreme Court for failing in its responsibility to protect live of citizens abi na only Nairalanders redesign policy be their concern?

Cow rearing is a private business that should be ranched.
Buhari, Malami & any other persons still supporting open-grazing in this modern 21st century are all evil.

Were they really even effective in the first place, maybe they tried their best in their own way, just maybe....

Benue don suffer

From Chief Mike Ozekhome CON, SAN:

The gravamen of this discourse, is the mathematical exactitude of the requirement of 25%. The wordings of the Constitution, are quite clear and unambiguous. They demand for not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the elections in each of at least 2/3 of all the States; And the Federal Capital Territory. By a judicial mathematical analysis, 2/3 of 36 States is equal to 24 States, and in addition, the FCT, Abuja. As an example, if I request to see 24 Corpers in my law firm And Okon, it means I want to see 25 persons in all; but Okon must be one of the 25 persons. So, if 25 persons in my law firm show up, without Okon, have I had all the persons I want to see? The answer is No. To satisfy my request, Okon must show up in addition to the 24, thus, making the 25 persons I desire to see.


What the law states is that, the candidate must have 25% of votes in those States, and the FCT, Abuja. The law does not contemplate that, the candidate must win those States. The jurisprudence behind this provision, is to ensure that the President as the Numero Uno citizen of the Nation, enjoys a reasonable range of widespread acceptance by majority of the people he seeks to govern, including those inhabiting the seat of power where he would govern from.

Ortom dey look for appointment

Forward ever, backward never! Why the suspension? When your people are already going down.

2 weeks quit notice should be the title

He said the suspension was to show a good fate to all those who claimed to have come into the state without knowing there is Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law of 2017 that is solely anti-grazing.

Lol, they're not aware of a 6 year old law. It's these soft on crime policies that encourage criminality in the country. They should be building prisons and handing out death sentences but they're cowardly.

He has been blackmailed, think about it, dozens of people were killed by herdsmen then all of a sudden the govt suspended the law that should have prevented herdsmen from roving about. It doesn't take much to figure out

Useless Samuel Ortom.

Spinless leader.
Who watched his people been killed by marauders.
The best he could was to complain, then seize their cows, and in turn his people suffered mass murder in retaliation.

The same goes for Simon Lalong.
Thank God they are out and also lost in their bid to return.
They have been retired in politics.

NB: In other West African countries,marauders are shot on site. And cows are never allowed to roam on streets.

Ortom is no administrator.

His greatest legacy is criticizing Buhari. Such a failed leader. Infrastructure, human capital development, security...zero!
