Benue State Govt Orders The Arrest Of Meyeti Allah Over Treat by ERockson: 2:31pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
The Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom has ordered the arrest of Fulani herdsmen chieftains under the umbrella of Miyetti Allah - The Fulani herdsmen had allegedly threatened the government to resist the newly passed Grazing law - Governor Ortom also urged the Presidency to call them to order before they plunge Nigerian into chaos The Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom has ordered the security agencies to arrest Fulani herdsmen chieftains for allegedly making inciting statements capable of breaching public peace and order. NAIJ.com reports that this was made known in a statement signed by the state Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Lawrence Onoja jnr, said while reacting to a media publication by the Miyetti Allah, Kautal, a Fulani socio-cultural association to reject the Open Grazing Prohibition and Establishment of Ranches Law signed by Governor Ortom. READ ALSO: How Akpabio looted Akwa Ibom state treasury as governor - Effiong Mr. Onoja said that the National Secretary of the Association Engr. Saleh Alhassan, sought to justify the reprehensible, irresponsible and criminal destruction of lives and properties in Benue state on the grounds that the Fulani herdsmen are the original inhabitants of the Benue Valley. Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state He said: “The Government calls on the Security Agencies to arrest these leaders of the Association for prosecution for openly making inciting statements capable of breaching public peace and order. Benue state and its people are under threat. We request the Federal Government to call Miyetti Allah and its leaders to order before they plunge the country into a conflagration which will be difficult to contain. Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported that Governor Samuel Ortom on Monday, May 22, assented the bill prohibiting open rearing of animals and grazing into law in the state. “We call on all Nigerians to stand up and condemn the threat of Miyetti Allah. Our legitimate contribution to the resolution of herdsmen and farmers crises should be appreciated because the clashes between farmers and herdsmen remain one of the most protracted problems across our country. To be sure, the threat by Miyetti Allah is not only for Benue but for all states that have or will have farmers and herdsmen crisis. “The Miyetti Allah however, exposed their open disregard for constituted authority by vowing to mobilize herdsmen in the country to resist the law. These comments in our estimation are treasonable as they amount to threats to disobey the law and is therefore a recipe for anarchy and threats to the peaceful existence of not just Benue state but Nigeria in general. “Why would an association which considers itself as partners in progress describe peaceful attempts at conflict resolution as decimation? From its own account, it appears as if the Miyetti Allah Socio-cultural Group is always hostile to peaceful efforts at resolving these unfortunate clashes with farming communities over grazing land. “The Government of Benue state restates its commitment to finding peaceful and legal means of resolving all conflicts within its domain and commends the Benue State House of Assembly for courageously standing on the side of law and order and for being true Representatives of our people in the speedy manner it passed the Bill into Law.” https://www.naij.com/1107937-tension-benue-governor-ortom-orders-arrest-fulani-herdsmen-chieftains.html 1 Like |

This is what i keep posting; that the Gov should choose between the people that elected him and the powers that be. Now, he is acting like a leader.

Kyase:When Fayose was doing cowboy on those fulanis some people were attacking them but he bought peace for his people at the end of the day. Do you know why they stopped in Enugu? They stopped because a lot of Igbos on social media close ranls and saw it as Fulani domination so they were vocal to the extent demonstrations were held in London against the Nimbo killings. Do you know why they are now Kings in Benue? It's because the government and the governed saw it as it's Tiv or Idoma problem and also its PDP or APC problem. The youths who were supposed to be vociferous were busy serving buhari at the detriment to their own people. Imagine an Omenka with his large popularity opens a thread to condemn Fulani herdsmen and their Killings in his state, the page will get to thirteen pages with peoples comment and the required traffic it will give to Benue people. In conclusion remember that Politics is Local that no matter how you love buhari you cannot win headboy in Daura Secondary School so you need to start from your hamlet and to start there ypu need to save them from near tragedy 3 Likes |

Kathmandu:You also should know that, I'm not a blind supporter, you may as well check my previous comments on this forum, but also know that the Fulani attacked in Benue, most especially in areas occupied by Tivs, are caused by them, their greed, our so-called chiefs will sale a land to them, and later farm on it, when the new owner brings his herds to grass on it, the chief will attacked and this will result to herdsmen attract. The only way out is to stop selling lands to them. |

Don't ever quote nor mention me again you saint Tinubu that's blinded by the lies this government churns out. You couldn't call them out in any of your post rather you subtly preach against those calling them out. I'm wearing the shoes and i know where it hurts me most so take your advice and stuff it where the Sun doesn't shine. You are a Closeted ZoneB so you are more dangerous than Sarrki.
