Outrage in Benue as over 100 feared dead in YelwataIf you have been following the news about the killings going on in the different parts of the country by terrorist groups and herdsmen, you'll not be new about the Benue killings that has become a menace. A situation which has led to many of the Benue indigenes running away and deserting their local communities to nearby towns and cities for safety.
A recent killing happened again on the 13th June, 2025, a destruction of lives and properties that has become a common situation in that part of the country and other Northern areas of Nigeria. But instead of the government to find lasting peace in addressing the fire that burning in it's backyards it's instead find priority in sending a strong message of peace to Israel and Iran about their present conflict. I am not against peace between these two warring nations, but isn't this act by the Nigerian government a misplace priority considering their cold feet attitude towards the insecurities and killings all over different states of the country? What gives them the right to call for peace outside their shores when they can't provide one within theirs? It's as though they prioritize peace outside than inside our country.

It is quite obvious that the country and society that we find ourselves in have different views and up and down which we can call misplaced priorities where our Government doesn’t care about anything happening in this country like the killing by Bandit, which is happening in different parts of the country and also some of this things happening majorly in Benue where people have been killed and burnt alive in there house, You will definitely find it very hard to see our leaders and government take desperate measures to stop this violence against innocent civilians, herdsmen are also there doing all sort of killings and destroying lives and property, but you can never see our leaders do anything about this situation and insecurity in the country instead they are interested in 2027 elections, how they will be able to use there election malpractice to win elections like they always do, Or they are currently interested in setting a one party system for themselves most especially the president of the Country Tinubu, they are not interested in protecting the lives and property which they swore to protect instead they are only interested how they can get back in control of power in 2027
