Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has suspended the operations of livestock guards and the state para-military agency saddled with the enforcement of the state open grazing for a period of two weeks.
Ortom announced this at the end of the state security council meeting after over 130 persons were gruesomely killed across the state within one week.
He noted that the suspension was to show good fate to all those who claimed to have come into the state without knowing there is Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.
The governor urged security agencies to act fast on the matter in order to bring victims of the attack to justice.
