Details of Buhari’s meeting with Gov Ortom - Daily Post Nigeria

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Monday said the anti-open grazing law in the state is being implemented.

“The place is relatively peaceful; the law is being implemented and we have arrested 400 people irrespective of their ethnic background, whether Fulani, Igbos, Yoruba, Tiv, Idoma. “So far, for cattle that we have arrested, people have come to redeem and so we have not had any cause to auction any cattle; the law is still in force in Benue State and we are implementing it.

According to him, Gana is the one instrumental to the kidnappings happening between Benue and Taraba states–all forms of criminality – armed robbery, assassinations and so on. “With Operation Y Stroke, we are going to move against them and we believe we will be able to surmount them.’’
