The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi (ASUU-MOAUM), has called on security agencies to track down the killers of about 200 people in Yelwata, Benue State.
This is contained in a statement by the chairperson, Comrade Ali Sule and the Secretary, Daniel Chile of the union on Tuesday.
The statement condemns in strong terms the attack and urges the government to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice without delay.
The union expressed deep concern about the incessant attacks on Benue communities and warned that if the government fails to stop the violence, it poses grave risks to food security not only in the state but across the country.
ASUU-MOAUM further called on the nation’s security agencies to act with urgency, diligence, and fairness to prevent further bloodshed.
The union expressed solidarity with the families and communities affected by the attacks, particularly in Yelwata, and called for immediate humanitarian support to aid the safe return and rehabilitation of displaced persons.
