The FG has since closed the country’s borders to all movement of goods as part of an effort to stop smuggling, and Ortom says foreign herdsmen should also be stopped at the borders.
The governor made the call in Makurdi during a visit to the General Hospital in Apir to see Mrs Grace Zeku, whose arm was cut off by suspected herdsmen on her farm in Gboogyo village, Guma Local Government Area of the state recently.
He lamented that herdsmen from Mali, Niger and Chad had been coming into Nigeria to commit atrocities.
The governor said, “No country can accept this, how can people come from other countries to commit atrocities. They should be checked.
“The Federal Government should ensure that our borders are also closed to prevent those herdsmen who come from neighbouring countries, many of them are from Niger and Mali.”
Ortom said the state government was making efforts through the State Security Council to beef up
security in the state to prevent any further violent attacks.
