The Benue State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed deep sorrow over the killing of police officers and civilians in a series of violent attacks by suspected armed herders and local militias across parts of the state over the weekend.
In a statement issued by its State Publicity Secretary, Tim Nyor, the party said it “deeply mourns the loss of gallant officers of the Nigeria Police Force” who were ambushed in the Katsina-Ala/Ukum axis, while others remain missing.
The PDP also commiserated with bereaved families, the Nigeria Police Force, and communities in Guma, Abagena, and Atsom, where fresh herder attacks claimed more innocent lives.
“Our hearts go out to the bereaved families whose pain and trauma are beyond imagination.”
The PDP pledged to continue to “speak for the voiceless” until peace and security are restored across Benue State.
