Ortom announced the lifting of curfew at a meeting he held with leaders of the Benue Motorcycle Association across the state and heads of security agencies at the Benue Peoples House.

Governor Ortom reiterated his condemnation of the killings at the Gboko motor part but maintained that the victims were not Fulani people as reported in some quarters.
The Governor called on security agencies to arrest and prosecute the criminals who carried out the act.
He urged the people not to take the laws into the hands but to report infringements on their rights to the appropriate authorities.
