Governor Samuel Ortom has once again
reaffirmed his commitment to make Benue State a
violence-free state.
The governor, whose stick approached is gradually
yielding fruits, said he would go after those who
are bent on making Benue ungovernable, arrest
them and bring them to face the law.
He however accused some political players on
trying to ruin the state.

Speaking with Vanguard, the governor who is
currently out of the country, said tranquility is
gradually returning to the food basket state, which
witnessed heavy bloodbath recently.
He said, “That has been the process. Some donors
came; PRESCOM from Abuja came and we are
collaborating together. That is the process we are
in now. But after some time, we noticed that there
was an upsurge of criminality going on.
“Apparently, those who had these weapons but did
not surrender waited to see what government
would do and so they came up. And also there
were also some political undertone to try to make
the state ungovernable.”
