Ortom, Miyetti Allah In War Of Words Over Vigillante Group
The hostility between Governor Samuel Ortom and socio- cultural Fulani group, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over Vigilante group has continued unabated.
This time around Governor Ortom dismissed claims by the Fulani group that their group is embedded in Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) and already functional in 36 states in the country as tissue of lies.
The Governor stated clearly that Fulani Vigilante group is not present in Benue and will never under any guise operate in the state.
In a statement signed by Chief Press Secretary ( CPS) to the governor Terver Akase and made available to newsmen in Makurdi yesterday ,Governor Ortom state that
the desperation being exhibited by Miyetti Allah to float a security outfit across the country clearly shows that the group has an ulterior motive.
He said “After receiving doses of bashing from Nigerians against its first attempt, the pastoralist organization has decided to hide under the canopy of Vigilante Group of Nigeria to actualize their agenda.
According to the governor; What Miyetti Allah fails to understand is that Vigilante Group of Nigeria also does not have constitutional right to operate in all states of this country.
