Benue Killings: Yelwata Still In Ruins Months After Tinubu’s Visit – Tiv Leader
Community leader Aleva claims President Tinubu's visit to Benue state following renewed killings in Yelwata has yielded no tangible results, with the area remaining in ruins. Despite Tinubu ordering arrests, Aleva dismisses the police's announcement of 26 suspects as untrue, questioning their whereabouts two months later. He argues the Yelwata killings are not farmer-herder clashes but a deliberate attempt to wipe out the community. Aleva criticizes the government's failure to rehabilitate victims and rebuild the area, emphasizing the need for concrete action beyond political gestures. He asserts that locals expected the President to prioritize rebuilding the devastated community.
