As a result of dwindling state resources to feed the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Benue State, some of the IDPs have turned to petty thieves

Benue State governor Samuel Ortom disclosed that the IDPs in Guma local government where he hailed from had been stealing from his rice, yam and cassava farms as well as other people’s farms to survive hunger, saying the assistance of donor agencies would help to halt the trend.

Ortom also told the British High Commission that his consistent advocacy for peace, fairness and equity in Nigeria was for the federal government to live up to its responsibility by tackling the problem of herdsmen, banditry and other crimes.
