The Peoples Democratic Party in Benue State has called on Governor Hyacinth Alia to revise his approach to addressing security issues in the state. The opposition party's advice was conveyed in a statement by its publicity secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, while expressing condolences to the government and people of Ukum Local Government Area following recent killings.
“The incident is reported to have started as a protest by locals in the town against the latest killings, but events eventually got out of hand as mobs of angry youths hijacked the protest and set about ransacking and burning down properties including the Local Government Council Secretariat, the Chairman’s Lodge, a public commodities warehouse, private businesses, and residences including those of the Chief of Staff to the governor, Hon Paul Biam.
