Benue killings: ‘This war is senseless and needless’ – David Mark

Following the recent killings of scores of people in two local government areas in Benue state by suspected herdsmen, the former Senate President, David Mark has urged the federal government to find a solution to the bloodbath.

Senator Mark said the invasion by suspected armed herdsmen has led to destruction of lives and properties worth millions of naira.

“Enough of the blood bath. Enough of this massacre. This war is senseless and needless .Why should we continue to kill ourselves and destroy our hard earned properties.”

“It is time federal government steps in to salvage the situation. It has become too worrisome and truly intolerable”, he said.

He also advised the Benue government to liaise with the federal government to put a stop to the killings.

“Benue state government must as a matter of urgency liaise with the federal government to salvage the situation.”

“Whatever the bone of contention may be , resorting to self help or taking another’s life cannot be a way out of the quagmire. We must live like civilized human beings.”

Mark further urged the National Emergency Management Agency ( NEMA) to send relief materials to the displaced persons in various camps in the state.
