Benue Killings: Labour Party Demands Military Action, Prosecution of Attackers | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
  • Labour Party describes killings as “national shame,” calls for military deployment

  • Over 100 people killed, including women, children, and security officers

  • Party demands full investigation and prosecution of perpetrators

The Labour Party has condemned the latest mass killings in Benue State, describing the attacks as a “fresh wave of senseless killings” and demanding immediate military deployment to the affected communities.

Acting National Chairman of the party, Senator Nenadi Usman, in a statement released on Monday, said the massacre, which claimed over 100 lives including women, children, displaced persons, and security personnel, reflects the persistent failure of government to protect its citizens.

Usman noted that the killings were not just statistics, but lives violently cut short—children who should have been protected, mothers buried in mass graves, and fathers killed defending their homes.

She said the burning of houses, repeated attacks on internally displaced persons, and ambushes on security forces illustrate a dangerous vacuum in leadership and accountability.

“The bloodshed in Benue should shake every conscience in this country. This is not just a local tragedy—it is a national shame,” she said.

The Labour Party is calling for a full-scale investigation into the killings and the immediate prosecution of those responsible, regardless of their affiliations or status.

Usman also called for a robust humanitarian response, including food, shelter, medical care, and trauma support for survivors, adding that silence and inaction will only embolden the perpetrators.

She assured grieving families that they are not alone, stating, “Your pain echoes across this nation. Your cry for justice will not go unheard.”

She urged Nigerians to rise beyond routine condemnations and demand real solutions, warning that the country cannot afford to normalise such violence.

The party reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for policies that prioritise security, rural protection, and human dignity, particularly in Nigeria’s conflict-prone regions. Optimised keywords in this report include
