The governor stated that 60,000 people were displaced following the recent attacks by herdsmen in the state.
He said the president had renewed his directive to the Inspector General of Police to arrest the perpetrators of the attacks.
Ortom said they also appealed to Buhari to cause the arrest of Maiyetti Allah leaders who, he said, were still issuing threats of attacks.
He said the president assured them that there is no room for impunity and that he would ensure there is peace in Benue.
The governor also described the allegations that he was arming militias as false.
