Ortom hits Buhari, says President using EFCC to frustrate opponents

Governor Samuel Ortom has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for his alleged repression of prominent anti-killer herdsmen voices.

Ortom accused the president of clamping down on elites that condemn killer pastoralists from the controversial ethnic group with both anti-graft and security operatives.

“Some peoples are afraid in this country to talk, because when they do, EFCC, ICPC and security agencies will come after them,” the Benue chief executive said at a press briefing in Makurdi Wednesday.

“They did it to me, but I went to court against them and won,” he stated.

Mr. Ortom chided the Buhari regime for its perceived bias and conspicuous support for rampaging herdsmen, in light of its failure to rein in the excesses of the herders.
