Benue Killings: Senate Orders IGP to Arrest Perpetrators within 14 Days
The Nigerian Senate has directed the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, to arrest and prosecute those responsible for the recent killings in Benue State within 14 days. The Senate made this demand during a plenary session on Tuesday, following a motion moved by Senator Gabriel Suswam, representing Benue North Senatorial District.
The motion was sparked by the recent attacks on communities in Benue State, which have resulted in the loss of lives and property. The Senate expressed concern over the increasing violence and insecurity in the state, and called on the IGP to take immediate action to apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for the killings.
The Senate also urged the IGP to provide a comprehensive report on the investigations into the killings and to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book within the 14-day timeframe. The lawmakers also called on the Federal Government to provide adequate security to the people of Benue State and to address the root causes of the violence.
The motion was adopted by the Senate, and the IGP was given a deadline of 14 days to comply with the directive.
