Snazzy.com.ng  correspondent noted a report  By Charles Iornumbe on 

ortom appeals to acting president to call miyetti allah to order. Governor Samuel Ortom has appealed to the Acting President, Yemi

Osinbajo to call the Leadership of Miyetti Allah to order for making

inciting statements about signing into law,the anti-open grazing bill

in Benue State.

Governor Ortom made the appeal on Monday while briefing Newsmen on the

outcome of the State Security Council meeting held at the Benue

Peoples House, Makurdi.

He explained that the decision to draw attention of the Acting

President to Miyetti Allah's recent negative comments about the

anti-grazing law has become necessary because the Leadership of the

Association had issued threats even claiming that Benue belongs to

them.

Governor Ortom said his administration would not succumb to any threat

issued by the Leadership of Miyetti Allah as such was tantamount to

acting against the signed law.

Governor Ortom therefore challenged any Individual, Organisation or

Group with any better alternative to the anti-open grazing law to come

up with it, stating that the statement from the Miyetti Allah was

unacceptable unpatriotic.

The Governor announced plans by his government to arrest any one

standing against the law and directed the relevant Security Agencies

in the State to comply with such directive as the anti-open grazing in

the State was now law.

Governor Ortom also told Newsmen of plans to convene a meeting between

Farmers and Herdsmen so as to explain to them in details the

provisions of the anti-open grazing law to avoid misconception.

He maintained that the State government would stand by the law to

ensure that it was implemented until ranching which is the best

alternative to ending herders-farmers crisis was fully embraced by

Cattle Rearers.
