The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has condemned the recent killings in Benue State, describing them as “mindless barbarism.”

In a statement yesterday by his Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Terrence Kuanum, Akume expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s directive to service chiefs to restore peace in Benue would yield the desired results. He emphasised the urgency of ending such “dastardly acts” and called for a collective effort to tackle insecurity across the nation.

“It is totally unacceptable that over 200 innocent persons will have their lives cut short in such cruel manner,” the statement read.

Akume urged residents not to be afraid but to collaborate with security agencies to reclaim their communities from violent elements. He also appealed to political, religious, and traditional leaders to unite against insecurity.

“As a former state governor, I understand the complexities involved in combating insecurity. I call on all political, religious, and traditional leaders to unite in the effort to end all forms of insecurity, not just in Benue State, but across Nigeria,” Akume said.

The SGF extended condolences to the families of the victims and survivors of the attack, stressing that insecurity remains a national challenge requiring urgent and unified action.
