Let's be honest and plain.
Islamic jihadist are responsible. You can call them hunters, fulani, boko haram, iswap, bandits,herdsmen.
It's an agenda that needs to be killed.

Hmm

And the Rev Father is finding it difficult to name the sponsors, or empower his people to defend themselves

helinues:
I have said it that the killings in Benue and NC in general are mostly reprisal attacks.

Are the people involved waiting for one president to come and help them settle their long time dispute?

There is no superiority point in killing each other

What do you do for a living?

What kind of mumu talk is this , islamist are over running your land steady and you think it's politicians in Abuja ?

Bobloco:
How many more lives must be lost before President Tinubu takes decisive action to address the deteriorating security situation in Benue State?

What is preventing the President from declaring a state of emergency in Benue, given the persistent attacks and widespread unrest, killings and instability in the state?

It is deeply concerning that a state of emergency was swiftly declared in Rivers State despite its relatively peaceful status while Benue continues to suffer frequent attacks by armedmen, non state actors overrunning towns and villages. These assaults have resulted in significant loss of life, destruction of property, and the displacement of thousands of residents.

Most recently, the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA) announced the registration of an additional 18,592 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), highlighting the scale of the crisis. This is no longer a localized conflict, it is a humanitarian emergency, A tragedy

This governor’s statement underscores the fact that the state government is overwhelmed. A prompt and decisive federal intervention through the declaration of a state of emergency, may now be the only viable step to restore peace and safeguard the lives and property of Benue's citizens.

cos no billions coming out of benue...A sad situation.

Don’t these Governors get security votes? What is he doing with his own? That money is enough to wipe out insecurity in any Stare except the Governor themselves are benefitting from the insecurity so they can request more money and embezzle it at the detriment of their own people. Look, if insecurity persists and a Governor pretends like they cannot wipe it out. That Governor is involved. The people need to hold their leaders able, seriously. Cause think about it, from LG counselors to even traditional leaders, in the State, the Governor has the power to resolve any insecurity if he is serious.

ruggedtimi:

You need proper backings of the federal government when you are receiving 37 billion? Guy, de deceive yourself. Let those Governors be deceiving you! If you let them deceive you and you die, na you lose. More money for them. If Alia wanted insecurity to stop today, it will.

What are we supposed to do with this information that contradicts what Ribadu said?

Racoon:
National Security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has said that Nigeria has recorded over 90 percent improvement in insecurity under President Bola Tinubu istration.

Mr Ribadu stated this in Jos, Plateau State while briefing the press shortly after a meeting with the Commander of Operation Safe Haven, Major General Folusho Oyinlola at his office, following a gunmen attack on Bokkos community that left hundreds of residents killed.

According to him, President Tinubu istration will not relent in its efforts at ensuring peace and security in the country.

“In the last 1-year-ten-months, violent deaths have been reduced probably by over 90 percent in our country. We have the statistics, in 2022 and 2023 those who lost their lives as a result of extreme violence in the country has reduced,” Mr Ribadu disclosed.

The NSA stressed that a lot of bad people have been arrested and are undergoing investigations. “I can assure you that justice will be done, those who are found responsible will be prosecuted, we are doing it across the country.

“This Government has prosecuted close to 2,000 terrorists and we have got many convictions; we will not relent, we are serious, we are honest about what we are doing, we will do it to the best of our ability,” he said.

The NSA further commended the armed forces and other security forces in maintaining peace, restoring order quickly, and acting instantly in averting a major crisis in the state.

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

https://twitter.com/i/status/1150428613751320577


Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Stop them from coming just like you stopped Peter Obi from coming to benue.

Agbegbaorogboye:
This man has gone full Ortom

Ortom, at least, was courageous enough to mention names and set up a Vigilante group that put up a fight
This coward hasn't and won't be able to do any of those.

You had the chance to say "full ortomatic" yet you ruined it

Lame governor.

Name them and let the bubble burst. Put them in the court of public opinion. That will tell me you truly love and care for your people. Otherwise you too are harbouring them.

His own started too early.

There is no superiority point in killing each other

Reprisal attacks to which previous attacks by those poor farmers and villagers??
When last did you hear of any Fulani being k#lled by a farmer in Benue?
How about other states like Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Ondo, etc, where these murderous herdsmen still operate?
You guys are just very cællous and d€vill!sh creatures.

Lol. Governor Alia becomes the fourth witness of MNK in his ongoing trial

Mention their names, Sir, I don’t know what you’re afraid of, worse case, they might not want you to come back for 2nd term, but who cares. your people first before politics.

if you are not going to outrightly mention their names with accompanying evidence to the public i suggest you shut the hell up governor alia just shut up

cheap excuses

2mch:
If you are serious and you yourself not involved, you will name them instead of speaking in code. What death is a reverend father afraid of?

Don't mind him. Some of these Governors and other politicians who claim to know those sponsoring insecurity should also have the guts to name them and if they refuse to name them, the law should should take it's course on them. You don't play politics with human lives

Mention names please

Name and shame them or forever hold your peace. In fact, I also expect the Police, DSS and NIA to have serious interest in these allegations and move proactively but hmmmm

them done give am him own cut na why he no fit mention them again anytime politicians come out to talk like that just know they have gotten word of a deal and have not been given their cut.

JAWBONE:
I'm tired of this narrative.

It's either you name them and sue them or STFU.

Oshiomhole also said Generals in the Army are responsible for terrorism in Nigeria, till today he has not told us who those Generals are
