Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State says his administration will no longer tolerate attacks and killings of natives by Fulani herders’ attack.
Ortom who made the vow on Thursday in Makurdi while presenting patrol vehicles and motorbikes to operatives of the Benue State Community Volunteer Guards, also said he was still awaiting the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari for the purchase of AK-47 rifles and other weapons for the outfit.
He added that despite the refusal of the President to give his approval for the purchase the weapons, he has resolved to ensure that the state’s community volunteer guards are equipped for the tasks of protecting the people.
