The Governor suggested the establishment of state police to help tackle the challenge.
He said the security agencies lacked adequate personnel and equipment adding that the provision of security was expensive. 
Governor Ortom stressed that the Ranching Law had come to stay adding that hundreds who have violated it have been arrested and prosecuted with several of them who could not pay fines serving prison terms.
He stated that he left the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because the Federal Government which the party controls deliberately refused to arrest those responsible for widespread killings in the state.One more photo below.
