Benue attack: Next time, Ortom will not be lucky – Fulani group boasts

The Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM, has vowed that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State might not be lucky in their next encounter.

This followed the failed attempt to murder the governor on Saturday.
The group in a statement said slight technical communication error was the reason behind their failure to murder the governor.

It said, “Yes. Yes, We did. The Fulani Nationality Movement, (FUNAM) carried out the attack. We have genuine reasons. We acted on behalf of Millions of Fulani people in 15 countries.

“It’s a case of vengeance against an infidel who has used his time and money, deployed in destroying the Fulani values and inheritance.

“Our courageous fighters carried out this historic attack to send a great message to Ortum and his collaborators: Where ever you are, once you are against Fulani long term interest, we shall get you down. This is a clear warning. We hope those who take us for granted will get the indisputable message.

“Our intention is unequivocal: TO KILL HIM. That mission will one day be fulfilled and very soon too.”

“Eleven of FUNAM operatives were involved in the attack. Ortom escaped today because of a slight technical communication error. Next time, he will not be lucky. We can assure him and his supporters.
