Benue Massacre: Catholic Bishops should Reject Emergency Rule
Rev Obinna Akukwe
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria should reject any plan to impose a state of emergency in Benue State. The plot to impose state of emergency have intensified following the massacte of over 300 in Yelwata on the 13th of June, 2025
The plot to encourage the Fulani herders to overrun Benue State is politically motivated.
Benue State Governor,
Rev Fr Alia has exposed corruption in high places of Benue State by paying
backlog of salaries, pension’s arrears and instituting good governance with
micro management of resource, that he has to be brought down at all costs.
The Fulani bandits’ attack in Benue State with the tacit incompetent reaction from security authorities is a ploy to remove Ref Fr Alia through a State of Emergency.
Instead of State of Emergency, the security commanders in Benue State should be redeployed.
The Military Authorities have confirmed that Insiders Provided Intelligence the Fulani bandits used for proper Mapping and Execution of innocent citizens in the case of Yelwata massacre
The Question is who are those insiders? Is it Rev Fr Alia or disgruntled Benue Politicians.?
