Benue Killings: Enough Of This War, Life Is Sacred — David Mark by Nobody: 9:38am On Mar 08, 2018
ABUJA—FORMER Senate President, Senator David Mark, has pleaded that enough of the killings in Benue State and other parts of the country against the backdrop that life is sacred.

In a statement, yesterday, by his Media Assistant, Paul Mumeh, Mark described as sad and frustrating, the unabating killings in parts of Benue State despite repeated peace moves between the indigenes and the herdsmen in the state.

Only on Monday, about 26 indigenes of Omusu community in Okpokwu Local Government Area of the state were murdered in cold blood by assailants believed to be herdsmen.

Mark [/b]in a reaction to the incident condemned the unwarranted killings of innocent citizens, pointing out that the crisis was degenerating to something akin to “war without end,” defying all peaceful approaches.

He said: “I’m aware of various peace initiatives over the incessant clashes resulting to loss of lives and property. That the killings continue unabated is something beyond the ordinary.

“Let me once again appealed to the assailants to sheathe their swords and allow peace to reign. Whichever side of the divide and whatever vocation you are engaged in, no progress can be made in a crisis-ridden environment.”

Mark who bemoaned the degenerating cases of insecurity in the land, said, “From abduction of innocent school girls in Dapchi, numerous cases of kidnapping to outright terrorism against unsuspecting citizens, the situation is frustrating.

“We must all make concerted efforts to achieve peace in our communities. Our security agencies should rise up to the challenges and protect lives and property. Life is sacred and we must not take it for granted.”

I'll always say it that buhari has a sinister agenda against the people of Benue, just like the north conquered Kwara and overtook the peripherals of the western territory, the same story is bound to occur. The Fulani pple has liaised with the drunkard president to take over Benue state whilst the midget helpless VP looks on. But I assure you that Buhari has failed, unless the people from the south western states decide to play stupid come next election cry

When Generals begin to talk..

General Lekwot reversed the killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna in one fell swoop.

He was not as influential, rich, or high-office holding as David Mark.

So finally you broke the silence and thought you were on a high horse so you don't care




Anyways I only hope you backup your words with action


Ironically PMB sees nothing wrong with the killings rather he's busy promising Ghanaians to help fight their corruption grin


Illiteracy is a disease indeed

Even as his voice is been heard today, he didn't put it in very strong terms. I am beginning to think that benue and its sister states are fools. I am sorry to say this. Why are the leaders from this troubled states never team up and synergize and take up the issue to international community, indicting pmb/nigerian govt and nigerian military. We are talking of ceaseless human killings. Even the National Assembly is watching, while life and property upon which PMB swore an oath to protect is been taken at unquantifiable scale on daily basis. No indictment on the side of myetti alla despite their provocative statements and acts.

First resign from that post u re occupying for decades which u are only slumbering on daily basis and doing nothing.
U have killed more than fulani herdsmen but ur own modus operandi is different.
You've sat on my thousands of people destiny, youve sat on their benefit for years.
You have take away what thousands shld use to secure their future and protect themselves.
U are shameless and a thief.
Fulani have killing in Benue since the 16 years of pdp which u are one the stake holders and nothing is done.
Resign and keep quite.
Barawo sinator.
