Benue Youths Protest against Killings, Block Major Highway.
On Sunday, aggrieved youths in Benue State staged a protest, blocking the Abuja-Makurdi highway. Dressed in black and carrying placards, the demonstrators voiced their outrage over the persistent killings within the state. The protest, which disrupted traffic and caused significant gridlock, follows a recent attack in the Yelewata community, Guma Local Government Area, where over 200 lives were reportedly lost. Despite prior warnings from the Benue State Government against unlawful gatherings, the youths expressed feeling abandoned and demanded immediate action to ensure security and justice for the victims of these attacks. The demonstration highlights the escalating tensions and the urgent need for resolution in the affected communities.
