The IGP’s visit follows a fresh wave of violence that swept across several communities last Friday.
According to Amnesty International, the attacks—allegedly carried out by suspected herdsmen—involved the burning of homes and brutal assaults on civilians.
Benue, a major agricultural region in Nigeria’s North-Central zone, has for years been at the center of violent clashes, largely driven by disputes between indigenous farmers and herders.
As part of a broader federal response, the IGP has deployed additional tactical teams to support local security efforts and restore order in the affected areas.
