Ortom: I Would Have Taken Up Arms Against Fulani Herdsmen If Not For God by Shehuyinka: 7:20am On Aug 30, 2022
BENUE State Governor Samuel Ortom has reacted to the charges brought against him at the International Criminal Court (ICC) by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN).

Ortom told The ICIR in an exclusive interview in Makurdi, Benue State, that Miyetti Allah got wind of his move to take them to ICC.

Speaking on series of attacks by herdsmen on agrarian communities in Benue State, Ortom said he would have taken up arms to fight if not for God and his respect for the rule of law.

He said, “If I were not a child of God, if I did not believe in being lawful, if I did not have respect for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I would have taken arms myself to go there and fight. Because this impunity is too much, they (Fulani herdsmen) think that as their brother is there, nothing will happen to them, and they do anyhow and go scot-free.

“We have not done anything illegal, and it is me that is taking Miyetti Allah to ICC because they heard about my preparation to take them to court and other people who are complicit, and that was why they went ahead to make that pronouncement.”

He also alleged that Miyetti Allah has the backing of the Federal Government.

Self defense has nothing do with being a Child of God..... You are not more Child of God than Israelites who are defending themselves daily against terrorist attacks by their neighbors... undecided

If you like don't defend yourself keep waiting for one god to help you or cos you dey fear wetin God talk,na for your eye Dem go slaughter your whole citizen.

Terrorist are meant to be dealt with,no mercy when dealing with them.

We don't get to hear about project development in Benue State because they are facing an existential threat - thanks to Buhari's incompetence and Fulanization agenda

SHUT UP

Cowardly woman like you!

Omenka ,you Benue men really need to do some image cleaning... angry

No Benue man ever speaks up against evil why? From tuface to Omenka ,they all stay silent while their people are raped murdered and abused why?.

But they are quick to speak on issues concerning other tribes ... While Benue state is comatose ! It is a tragedy honestly.

Majority of people from benue state are senile and dormant in nature when it comes to decision making. It's factual!

This guy is just playing politics with everything,he has done nothing in his state
Just oweing people money up n down n when he wants to whip sentiment he talk’s about Fulani


In as much as we agree they are a menace to our society n existence but does that stop me governor from paying workers?
What about infrastructure n co?

I know for sure one day this guy too will come out n say he wants to become president n some people will start telling us he was d best governor during his time

In as much as some people can defend ikpeazu today,there’s nothing that can’t happen again in Nigeria

Anytime there's an uproar that he's not paying salary or he's not doing anything in Benue, he'll bring up Fulani this Fulani that issues to safe face and derail what's important.

Ortom pay salaries and fix ur state, stop being a cry baby. Jos still remain the state most terrorised by Fulani herdsmen but I can't remember Jonah Jang being a cry baby like you are, Simon lalong isn't as well

Did existential threat prevent him from collecting monthly allocation?
So why did your lame excuse of existential threat prevent him from employing people and paying proper salaries promptly to make Benue prosperous?

You should have at least show them - what it means not to be law abiding. They committed all the atrocities and all could say is that u are child of God - Weldon sir. By the time they invade Govt house - then you will understand what the ppl of Benue are passing tru.
