Despite President Bola Tinubu’s recent “enough is enough” directive aimed at ending insecurity in the country, renewed killings and herdsmen attacks have continued across parts of Benue and Plateau States, heightening tensions among residents and community leaders.

In Benue, local authorities confirmed fresh attacks on rural communities, resulting in multiple casualties and displacement of residents. Community leaders lamented that the President’s warning has yet to translate into concrete action on the ground, stressing that security agencies appear overwhelmed and ill-equipped to contain the situation.

In neighbouring Plateau State, similar reports of violence have emerged. A number of villages in Mangu and Bokkos Local Government Areas were reportedly attacked, leading to deaths and destruction of property. Community representatives condemned the renewed assaults and called on the Federal Government to urgently deploy more troops to the troubled areas.

Plateau State Government also rejected the Federal Government’s recent narrative on the crisis, insisting that the causes of the renewed violence go beyond mere “farmer-herder clashes”. According to state officials, the attacks appear to be well-coordinated and targeted, requiring a more robust and strategic response from the central authorities.

Local leaders from both Benue and Plateau have therefore urged President Tinubu to back his “enough is enough” proclamation with decisive and sustained action, warning that a failure to do so could further embolden the perpetrators and deepen the humanitarian crisis in the region.
