Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has condemned the renewed wave of violent attacks in Benue State, particularly in Gwer West, Makurdi, and Guma local government areas. He described the attacks as inhuman, and a direct assault on the peace and dignity of the Benue people.
Aondoakaa extended his condolences to families affected by the violence and called for unity in the face of adversity. This was contained in a statement he issued on Thursday in Makurdi. “We must not allow our pain or anything to divide us. 'This is the time for unity across tribes, parties, and beliefs. 'We are one Benue, and together we must stand, defend, and rebuild,' he said.
Aondoakaa made a passionate appeal to all sons and daughters of Benue, regardless of political affiliation, to join hands with the traditional institution and community leaders in tackling the growing insecurity. He emphasized that the role of traditional rulers and local leaders cannot be overemphasized. “Our traditional institution remains the soul of our communities.
