General Christopher Musa, the commander of the military, has ordered military leaders to pursue those responsible for Benue State’s recent wave of killings.  ,
We must discover their location. We must pursue them. General Musa met with traditional rulers in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, on Tuesday and gave that directive to his commanders.
“We have had some places where we believe they are preventing them from gathering.” In order to dislodge them, we’re going to pursue them. We shouldn’t wait for their arrival to avert an attack.
[Killings] The Armed Forces Are With You, CDS Assures Benue ResidentsIn the last few weeks, numerous people have died in the food-producing nation as a result of additional attacks, many of whom have been relocated and seriously hurt.
National protests and outrage have resulted from that.
However, the CDS has defended the Armed Forces’ efforts to restore calm to the areas by suing for peace.
The military is with you, he declared. What is happening causes us pain. It’s a personal decision for me. When our armed forces are executing people, I don’t want to be their chief of defense. No, we have visited Liberia, Sierra Leone, other nations, and brought peace. Why not in our own nation?
No member of the armed forces is going to oppose one, I can assure you of that. We’re prepared to prosecute the person if we notice anyone who is present. However, we can rely on you for our mutual support to bring about peace. We must work together to bring about peace.
President Bola Tinubu has ordered a visit to the state on Wednesday in response to the recent wave of killings in the North-Central State, instructing security forces to search for the attackers and restore harmony to the communities.
President Tinubu has already sent the heads of the intelligence agencies, the National Security Advisor, the Senate and House Defense Committees, and other important members of Benue State as part of his preparation for the trip.
The President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said in a statement released on Monday that “he is expected to hold a town hall meeting with all stakeholders during the visit.”
