GOV. ORTOM TO KIDNAPPERS: BENUE WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU



Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has sent out a warning to kidnappers operating in the state, stating that he will not relent on the war against their activities.

Ortom disclosed this on Thursday following his sympathy visit to his Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Chief Ekpe Ogbu who was recently kidnapped by herdsmen.

He said, “We are not going to relent on this war and there is no way we will compromise and allow kidnappers to have their way in this state.

“I challenge our people to rise up and not to allow kidnappers in their communities. When you suspect them, don’t hesitate to involve the security agencies so that they will not come back again.

“There is no way we can add value to the development of our state when we have kidnappers all over the place terrorising our communities.

“There is no way foreigners will come here and invest in our state with challenges like this. There is no way we can do everything on our own and make things work. So we must stop this.

“I want to use this medium to send a message to the kidnappers. Benue State will not tolerate this and we are going to move very hard.”
