Ortom Asks FG To Extend Border Closure To Foreign Herdsmen

The Benue State Governor, Mr Samuel Ortom, has appealed to the Federal Government to extend its border closure to include foreign herdsmen who allegedly have unfitted access into Nigerian territories with arms to attack communities including those in Benue.
The governor made the appeal on Monday when he visited a female victim of herdsmen attacks whose limb had been amputated over the weekend while working on her farm in Guma Local Council of Benue State.

He lamented that Nigerians cannot afford to live in fear in their own country.
Ortom also reiterated the need to ban all forms of open grazing in the country and establish ranches for coordination and security profiling of all those keeping herds of animals.

we still dont know how to define herdsmen or which category to put them....

indigenous nierian herdsmen or westafrican herdsmen....

but keep in mind this will end the age of herdsmen movin fom place to place....a very old tradition like wildlife moving from place to place....

i am for closin the borders completly,not because of herdsmen,but because of our unreasonable neighbor nations....

Nice one-they're the 4th deadliest terrorist group globally.

That show how incompetent you are

A governor that can't use all tactic to eradicate insurgency and security issue then leave the position for who that can handle it without lookin up to president for more prolong border closure
