COSMBYLA, the Coalition of Southern and Middle Belt Youth Leaders Assembly, has urged Benue State security forces to apprehend the murders of Governor Samuel Ortom’s relatives as soon as possible.
On Saturday, three of Governor Ortom’s kinsmen were gunned down by armed men presumed to be Fulani herdsmen, according to 360 MEDIA.
According to reports, the event occurred when militants with sophisticated weaponry ambushed and blocked the Lordye-Gbajimba route in the state’s Guma Local Government Area.
In response, the President General of COSMBYLA, Goodluck Egwu Ibem, released a statement to the media urging the troops of Operation Whirl Stroke to step up their efforts to maintain the state free of any criminal activities.
COSMBYLA, an umbrella organization for all youth groups in the South East, South South, South West, and Middle Belt regions, also praised the state governor’s prompt action in rescuing eight kidnapped victims on Saturday in coordination with the army.
“We appeal on Operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS, to step into action promptly to catch those criminals who murdered three people on Saturday evening along Lordy – Gbajimba route in Guma Local Government Area of Benue state,” the statement adds.
“While the feat of rescuing the eight abduction victims in the state is admirable, we urge them to go above and beyond in their efforts to clear out these criminal elements from the state.”
“We express our condolences to the state governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom, the people of Guma Local Government Area, and the entire decent people of Benue state for the deaths of their loved ones who were slaughtered by Fulani terrorists in their own ancestral homes by Fulani terrorists.”
“We congratulate His Excellency Governor Samuel Ortom on providing the required logistics and support for the state’s security of lives and property.” It requires a guy with a good heart and a desire to protect his people’s interests at all times to stand strongly behind his people and defend their course and interests.”
