Fani-Kayode reveals where gunmen who wanted to kill Gov Ortom came from

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has claimed that those who wanted to kill Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, are closely affiliated to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria West Africa, ISIS.

Recall that the Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM, had claimed responsibility for the attack on the governor.

Fani-Kayode claimed that foreign sponsors determined to destabilize Nigeria are sponsoring FUNAM.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that Governor Ortom was attacked by militia in his farm along Makurdi- Gboko road, on Saturday.

However, Fani-Kayode called on the federal government to declare FUNAM a terrorist organisation in Nigeria.

In a series of tweets, Fani-Kayode wrote:  “FUNAM, who have claimed responsibility for the attack on and attempted assassination of Governor Ortom of Benue state, is a foreign-based, foreign-sponsored and foreign-manned counterintelligence operation whose sole purpose is to destabilise and destroy Nigeria.

“They are closely affiliated with ISIS West Africa and often share intelligence and collaborate with them in joint operations. Though they do have a few local allies, in the main they do not represent the Fulani of Nigeria but only the foreign Fulani terrorists and their international backers who want to throw Nigeria into chaos, drive us into a civil war and cause us to slaughter one another so that they can come into our country in full force and pick up the pieces.

“Ortom must be fully protected and the Federal Government must shut down FUNAM in Nigeria, declare them a terrorist organisation and arrest or eliminate all their members, friends and associates before they push us into an avoidable and horrific full-scale
