COMR. Terrence Kuanum (President Benue Youth Leaders Forum) was full of vexation when he lambasted the Inspector-General of Police at the Benue State stakeholders meeting with the IGP at the Benue peoples House Makurdi.
Comrade Kuanum, looked straight into the IGPs face and recorded their displeasure with the laxity orchestrated by the security personnel especially the Police.
"IGP, your presence in Benue is an insult to our sensibilities.
Your DIG operations told us on Television that the terrain is complex to you, are you now coming to clear the terrain?
We have this crisis because you refused to adhere to the global terrorism index, which rates Fulani herdsmen as the 4th deadliest terror group in the world.
We need the military presence here in Benue State because this is a genocide.
The president was in zamfara when the herdsmen attacked the state, he constituted a military taskforce to protect the north west.
We are not in a communal war with anybody like u said unless we are fighting with your village.
We in Benue need ranching as the only way forward
And the herdsmen must be declared a terrorist organisation, and the leadership of Miyetti Allah must be arrested".
Also speaking during the stakeholders meeting Chief John Antenyi(Odejo k' Apa) laid it bare to the IGP
"When you were a Commissioner of Police in Nasarawa state, there were lots of violent attacks on Agatu by Fulani herdsmen who camped in Loko local government of Nasarawa state. The Assembly member representing Agatu constituency, Audu Sule who is here with us today, was sent to you for help and you said there was a limit to which you can intervene except when you receive orders from the headquarters, but now that you are now the headquarters yourself, what have you done"?
