Anyone against Benue grazing law will be stoned to death – Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom has declared that any Benue indigene who collects crumbs from Abuja to deflect the law prohibiting open grazing in the state could be stoned to death by the people of the state.

The Governor who sounded the warning Wednesday while inaugurating the newly elected 23 Local Government Council, LGC, Chairmen of the state, a Permanent Secretary and a Special Adviser in Makurdi noted that the law being a product of the people had come to stay.

The Governor said: “Those people should know that our people asked for the law to check the attacks and killings in our communities by the terrorists and that is what they have. Today close to two million of our people are living in Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps because of the activities of these killer herdsmen.

“My people are in pain, and some people are in Abuja collecting crumbs and supporting the activities of our enemies and killers. But they must be told that Benue people are not fools and they will not hesitate to stone to death anyone who thinks he can come to Benue to support the take over of our land by herdsmen, deflect or repeal the Benue Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.”
