Benue State is gradually being erased and wiped away from the map and no one is talking.
Over 2,600 people have been brutally murdered, with entire communities under siege this year alone.
Between January 2023 and February 2024, at least 50 communities in Benue have been attacked and sacked by armed herdsmen.
Armed terrorist groups now control 18 out of the state’s 23 local government areas.
2.1 million people in Benue have become internally displaced persons, living in IDP camps in their own state and surviving on handouts.
These are higher numbers than in North East, Nigeria, the epicenter of the Boko Haram conflict.
What is the Reverend Father, Father Hyacinth Alia, who is the Governor of the state doing about the insecurity in his state?
