President Buhari Orders Arrest of Persons with Illegal Firearms in Benue and Nasarawa States

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate arrest and prosecution of anyone found with illegal firearms in Benue and Nasarawa states, following the recent killings in the two states.

The President made the announcement on Tuesday, while receiving a delegation of traditional rulers from Benue and Nasarawa states at the State House in Abuja.

The delegation, led by the Tor Tiv, Professor James Ayatse, and the Attah of Obollo, Dr. John Momoh, had come to brief the President on the recent killings in the two states.

The President condemned the killings, describing them as "unacceptable" and "barbaric". He also expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and assured them that his administration would do everything possible to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The President also directed the security agencies to intensify their efforts to disarm and arrest anyone found with illegal firearms in the two states.

"We will not tolerate any form of violence or lawlessness in our country," the President said. "We will do everything possible to ensure that our people are safe and secure."

The killings in Benue and Nasarawa states have been attributed to herdsmen and farmers' clashes, which have left many people dead and displaced. The President's order is seen as a move to curb the violence and restore peace to the affected areas.
