The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on Monday, arrived Benue State in North Central Nigeria where ferocious marauders wreaked havoc last Friday, killed scores and displaced hundreds of people.

Benue State has been under heavy attacks by gunmen for some time.

The killings have lingered for years, with some linking it to inter-communal conflicts as well as the quest for land dominance between the autochthonous agrarian dwellers and nomadic cattle rearers.

However, the killings in the last few weeks have been without a break. 

At least over 160 residents were confirmed killed in a series of attacks by gunmen who wreaked havoc in different communities in the food-producing state.

On Sunday, President Bola Tinubu directed security chiefs to implement his earlier directive to bring lasting peace and security to Benue State.

“The latest news of wanton killings in Benue State is very depressing. We must not allow this bloodletting to continue unabated. Enough is now enough.

“I have directed the security agencies to act decisively and arrest perpetrators of these evil acts on all sides of the conflict and prosecute them,” the President said.
