Thursday, June 19, 2025 - President Bola Tinubu has directed the country’s Service Chiefs and Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to pursue those responsible for the recent attacks and killings in Benue State.
The President issued this order during his visit to Benue
State on June 18, in response to the renewed violence in the North-Central
region.
“Police, I
hope your men are on alert to listen to information. How come no arrest has
been made? I expect there should be an arrest of those criminals,” Tinubu said
at the Benue Government House in Makurdi, the capital, during a stakeholders
meeting.
Christopher
(the Chief of Defence Staff), you have given much. I watch your comments, you
can’t be tired of staying in the bush. Oloyede and the Air Marshal, we thank
all of you, but we need to keep our ears to the ground, let’s get those
criminals, let’s get them out. DG NIA, DG SSS, retool your information channels
and let’s have tangible intelligence so that this will not occur again.” he
