BENUE STATE GOVERNMENT RENEWS COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING LIVES AND PROPERTY

Saturday, 12th September 2026

The Benue State Government deeply commiserates with the people of Ayilamo, Logo Local Government Area, following the recent attack on the community, which tragically claimed the lives of innocent residents, including four gallant police officers who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty. The Government shares in the grief and pain of the affected families and communities and assures the people of Ayilamo, and indeed all the people of Benue State that the Government remains resolute in its determination to protect lives and property and restore lasting peace across the State.

While this tragic incident is deeply painful, it will not derail the significant progress recorded by the State in strengthening its security architecture and confronting the threats to peace and safety. The Government therefore urges residents not to lose confidence in the security structures that have been painstakingly built and strengthened, and which continue to produce tangible results.

The Alia led administration has already taken the fight against insecurity to another level as portrayed in the recent North-Central Zonal Security Summit, held in Makurdi on 31st August 2026. The summit brought together the Federal Government, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, governors, security chiefs, and other key stakeholders from across the region to deepen cooperation and develop more effective strategies for addressing security challenges within the region.

The increased federal support, including the deployment of the Nigerian Army's 5 Division to Benue State whose units shall be located at Ayilamo, kwande, Agatu, Guma and other parts of the state, is a significant reinforcement that will strengthen the capacity of security agencies to respond to armed threats and protect vulnerable communities across the State. Government, will continue to develop and strengthen a comprehensive, security architecture, designed to extend surveillance, early warning, and protection of vulnerable rural communities.

While investigations are ongoing the Government further assures all vulnerable communities across Benue State that efforts have been intensified for further collaborations with the Federal Government and all relevant security agencies to prevent further attacks and create an environment in which every resident can live, work, and pursue their legitimate aspirations without fear.

At this difficult moment, the Government appeals to all residents to remain calm, law-abiding, and vigilant. Citizens are encouraged to support security agencies by providing credible and timely information that can assist in preventing attacks and bringing perpetrators to justice. Residents are also urged to refrain from actions or statements capable of escalating tensions, spreading fear, or undermining ongoing investigations.

The Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia led administration remains deeply conscious of its responsibility to the people of Benue state and will continue to stand with affected families and communities, strengthen the State's security architecture, support those on the frontlines of protecting our communities, and pursue every legitimate avenue towards lasting peace.

The safety of lives and property of the good people of Benue State remains a foremost priority of this administration and Government will not relent until peace, security, and confidence are firmly restored across the State.

He will soon be shocked at the level of corruption in his government.

The likes of Omokri are ready to go to any extreme to get an appointment. The day PMB gives him an appointment all this nonsense will stop.

Which part of Gkoko?

Gboko West and Veterinaty area as of this week.

Inspite of the stay at home order Jos electricity distribution company officials are disconnecting electricity in Gboko. I don’t know if the stay at house order exempts them.

Another grand design to siphon and loot the nation's resources by the police.

Mind that snubbish attitude it might bring tension with your family.

Thats it. Maybe small sense go enter their head.

So the man is hale and hearty but chose to rule us from London. I used to frown at local govt chairmen who stay away from their council headquarters hobnobbing with partymen at the state headquarters. Now PMB has taken it a step further hobnobbing with party men in London while Nigerians wallow under the weight of recession. There is God ooo.

Obama and Hillary won't forget the word KARMA.

They conspired to remove Jona while the Russians removed them. Karma a sweet word.

Its a pathetic situation in Benue. Workers in the state have become beggers, one wonders if the state still receive allocation from Federal govt.
