Saddened by the recent killings in some parts of Benue State, Senator Abba Moro (PDP), representing Benue South Senatorial District at the national assembly has called on both the federal and state governments to immediately put an end to the continued killings in parts of the senatorial district by suspected herdsmen. He said the FG and Benue State government should take immediate steps to nip the barbaric acts in the bud, adding that he can no longer guarantee the continued patience of the affected people who have been waiting on government to come to their aid.
The Senate Minority Leader noted that Apa, Agatu and Otukpo LGAs have been under bloody attacks by the marauding herders leading to wanton destruction of lives and property.
He says the victims have been pushed to the wall and will resort to self-help if help does not come to them immediately.
The senator condemns, in their entirety, the recent killings in the land, especially the Sunday and Friday killings in Ogbaulu Community, in Agatu LGA. He says the unprovoked attacks which resulted in the gruesome murder of five armless villagers on their farms are unacceptable. He calls on security agents to go after the perpetrators of the heinous crime and bring them to book.
