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.
