Benue State government has described the continued killing of farmers and destruction of crops by suspected militia herdsmen in the state’s border communities
The senior special assistant to the governor on youth mobilisation and empowerment, Moses Mkeennem, lamented the situation at a press conference in Makurdi, the state capital.
Mkeenem therefore called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the worsening security situation in the state and nib it in the bud to avert looming hunger and starvation in Benue and the country at large. While congratulating Tinubu on his victory at the Supreme Court and as well thanking him for appointing Benue sons into key position of his cabinet, Mkeenem appealed for more appointments of Benue sons and daughters who are capable to join him in his quest to address issues bedeviling the country.
“My office and the entire youth of Benue are making a renewed and passionate appeal to herders who are still grazing on people’s farm land in the state and causing mayhem, killing people and raping our wives, mothers, and sisters to desist forthwith as this may not be condoned any longer,” he added.
