Ortom gave the directive at an inter-denominational church service held at the government house in Makurdi, Benue capital on Sunday May 23.
He further disclosed that the licence to own a dane gun could be obtained at local government secretariats in the state.
The Governor said;
“I will no longer announce the deaths of those killed by Fulani herdsmen, rise up and defend yourselves with weapons not prohibited by law, bows and arrows, spears and knives.
“Get a licence for dane guns from local government chairmen and use them to defend yourselves.
“God assured me some time back that as long as I lived within the circle of his presence, no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper.”
