As Fulani Mercenaries Expand Territory, FG Deploys Soldiers to Benue

By


The Federal Government has ap­proved the deployment of sol­diers to the state to end the lin­gering farmers/herdsmen crisis in the state.

The state governor, Samuel Ortom made the disclosure yes­terday while administering Oath of Office on the President, Cus­tomary Court of Appeal (CCA), Justice Cosmos Idye and a High Court judge, Justice Augustine Ityonyiman.

The governor said the inva­sion of some communities by Fu­lani herdsmen in the state was taking a worrisome dimension stressing that “more Local Gov­ernment Areas are being attacked on daily basis”.

“As we speak, the Fulanis have started moving out of Agatu to other parts of the state. What we are witnessing today in Benue State is more than what happened in the North-East,” Ortom said.

The governor listed Agatu, Logo, Tarka, Buruku, and Kwan­de as part of places currently at­tack by the Fulani mercenaries.

Ortom urged the judiciary nationwide to support the feder­al government’s anti-corruption crusade through effective and timely dispensation of justice.

In a remark, the CCA Presi­dent pledged to uphold the Con­stitution and judicial ethics in the discharge of his duties.
