UN Secretary-General António Guterres has condemned the attacks perpetrated over the weekend in Benue, North Central Nigeria, in which scores of civilians were killed, further saying that those responsible for the violence should be apprehended.
According to news reports, dozens of people were killed while they slept and several displaced following brutal attacks on the village of Yelewata.
President Bola Tinubu condemned the ongoing violence in Benue and called on all leaders and residents to embrace peace, love, and mutual understanding.
However, Tinubu would travel to the state on Wednesday as part of renewed efforts to foster peace and address the persistent conflict affecting communities in the state.
