Amidst Benue Insecurity, IGP’s visit, Governor Alia renews call for state police
On 12 July, suspected armed herders attacked the Akpachi and Otukpo-Nobi communities in Otukpo Local Government Area, killing at least eight people, including women and children, according to the Benue State Police Command.
Mr Disu also emphasised the necessity for stronger collaboration between the police, other security agencies, and local security outfits to address the state’s security challenges, particularly the recurring farmer-herder conflict.
The governor described the IGP’s as timely, noting that it reflects the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to strengthening internal security, promoting community policing, and deepening collaboration with state governments.
