Miyetti Allah must be arrested if you want peace in Nigeria – Ortom tells Buhari

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has once again called for the arrest of members of the Miyetti Allah must be arrested.

According to Ortom, the group has owned up on the recent atrocities perpetrated in the state and must be brought to book for peace to reign.

Ortom who resumed duty on Wednesday after recovering from COVID-19 infection reacted to the recent outcry against the atrocities allegedly committed by herdsmen ranging from kidnapping, murder, rape, destruction of farmland among others.

He urged the Federal Government to take quick action before the nation descends into crisis.

“This country belongs to all of us and the Federal Government, the presidency must act fast because time is going. From North-West, North-East, North-Central, South-West, South-East, South-South there is general insecurity and this is being propelled by herdsmen,” he said.

“I want to repeat it again and I have made a petition to the presidency and to all security agencies before that if they want peace, Miyetti Allah must be arrested.

“These are people who have owned up. They have taken responsibility that they have killed they maimed, they rape and yet their leadership sis in Abuja and nobody is confronting them,” Governor Ortom said.
