The 32-year-old added that the country cannot continue to condemn violence without following up with meaningful intervention. He said: “Another wave of heartbreaking killings in Benue. Don’t wait until it happens close to home or to someone you know— speak out now. To our leaders: governance is not just for election season.
“We need consistent action, not seasonal appearances. We demand more. We deserve better. Benue deserves peace. Nigeria deserves better. Sincere condolences to those who lost their lives in the process and to their families, may Allah grant you the fortitude to bear the loss.”
