The Inspector- General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, on Wednesday apologized to people of Benue State over his
statement that the Fulani herdsmen attacks on people of the state were communal
clashes.
He gave the apology while
addressing Benue stakeholders at the Government House in Makurdi.
He said 10 mobile police units
have been stationed in Benue and promised to bring to book those that had
unleashed terror on the state to serve as deterrent to others.
He assured the state governor,
Samuel Ortom, that his men would investigate all allegations raised against
Miyetti Allah Katal Houre and that of Nassarawa where some militia men are
being camped to carry out attack on Benue people.
Governor Ortom maintained that
some militia men are still camped in Tungwa, Awe local government area of
Nasarawa State and urged the IGP to investigate the matter.
The governor donated five Hilux
vehicles for the operation against the herdsmen.
