The Senator representing Benue South, Abba Moro, has decried the persistent killings in his constituency, expressing frustration over the worsening security situation.
Moro, who lamented the failure of relevant authorities to protect lives and property, accused security agencies in the state of neglecting their duties.
He said the security agencies were extorting innocent residents, while criminals continued to unleash terror unchecked.
He also faulted President Bola Tinubu for allegedly disregarding resolutions passed by the Senate aimed at addressing the country’s security crisis.
Moro made this known while speaking as a guest on Democracy Today, a programme produced by African Independent Television, on Monday.
He said, “There’s no Benue person with a conscience today that would say he or she is not bothered by the resurgence of killings across the state. We are tired of burying our slain citizens. These killings need to stop.
“It gladdens my heart that the governor has finally spoken up. He condemned the recent killings. He has been silent, and his silence has not been golden. One hopes he goes beyond condemnation and makes promises. These are not enough.”
Also, Speakers of State Legislatures have strongly condemned the recent upsurge in attacks and killings in various parts of the country.
In a Monday statement by their Chairman, Adebo Ogundoyin, they expressed deep concern over the tragic loss of lives, mass displacements, and emotional trauma inflicted on citizens by the escalating violence.
Ogundoyin, who is the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, said the conference is alarmed by the frequency and brutality of the incidents, and the apparent inability to curtail the bloodshed.
