BENUE- Wednesday April 28, 2021: Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s body language towards the security issues in the country shows that he (Buhari) is President of the Fulani people.

The Governor made this statement on Tuesday while he was reacting to the attack on Abegana village, in which one of the designated Internally Displaced Person’s camps in the state was affected.

Ortom disclosed that 70 people had been killed in Makurdi, Guma and Gwer West local government areas, and the attack on Abegana IDP camp had seven people killed on Tuesday.

He added that President Buhari needs to convey security to discuss insecurity in the country.

“We are being overstretched and the people are fed up. We all cast our votes for President Buhari. He must not continue to be aloof. He must tell us where we are going in this country. The body language of the President shows that he is the President of the Fulani people,” the Governor stated.

It was gathered that some herdsmen attacked the Abegana IDP camp on Tuesday morning.

A source said “The herdsmen surrounded our village around 12am; they were about 10 in number and they shot and entered people’s houses.

“They killed one of my children and shot three others. I have not seen my wife.”

Another source, Gwabo Matthew said, “They (herdsmen) operated for over two hours. The attackers were Fulani because they were speaking in Fulfulde language.”
