Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, has blamed politicians for the current spate of killings in his state.
“There are some political undertones to the security issue. People are being instigated to go into kidnapping, armed robbery and cultism and all that; just to create tension. All these things are as a result of our quest to recover stolen funds from past administrators," he said according to Daily Post.
“All these things are being instigated to divert attention and create confusion but I want to assure you that there is no way I can surrender the state to criminals, I am going to take them headlong.
“Cattle are raised in America, in Europe, in Asia, even on African soil. I have been to Swaziland, they ranch their cattle, their major export earner is beef but they ranch their cattle. Why should we refuse to do the same thing?”
