Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has said that a joint security
meeting with his Nasarawa State counterpart to address borderline crimes
will be convened following the success recorded by the Benue State
amnesty programme.
The decision follows interactions between the Governor and the Osana
of Keana, Senator Emmanuel Elayo over the perennial Fulani herdsmen and
farmers clashes in border communities of the two states.
Mr Ortom, who held a similar joint security meeting with his Taraba
State counterpart in the wake of the ceaseless killings in that area,
says a quick solution to the Fulani-farmers crisis between the two
states was necessary as the dry season sets in.
The Osana of Keana, a border community with Benue State from Guma
Local Government said that the age-long relationship between farmers and
Fulani’s will be restored to ensure lasting peace.
