Senator Mark who described those involved in the attacks as beasts and insane people said: “I cannot understand why People have resorted to killing each other at will without the slightest provocation. This is not part of us. This is highly inhuman and unacceptable.”
David Mark in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, advised Nigerians not allow politics or other factors destroy the nation, “neither religion nor politics nor ethnicity should put asunder to our cherished peace and unity.”
The Senate President while urging security operatives to put all their resources together to find a lasting solution and put an end to these killings also sympathized with the government and people of Benue state over the attacks and called for proactive approach in order to avoid a repeat occurrence.
He also requested the National Emergency Management Agency, NAMA, to help the Benue State Emergency Management Agency to provide relief materials to the victims who were taking refuge in various camps across the state.
Over the past weeks Benue State has been a hot zone with fulani herdsmen armed with sophisticated weapons attacking the state, killing many, burning houses and displacing several from their homes.
