Recent killings in Benue State have reignited national concern over security failures in Nigeria’s north-central region.

Public affairs analyst Ukah Kruh says the violence exposes deep gaps in the country’s policing and military response systems, calling the situation “daunting and deeply troubling.”

He also suggested possible political undercurrents fueling the violence, urging authorities to look beyond surface narratives.

As debates intensify, citizens continue to demand accountability and meaningful action to end the bloodshed.
