TINUBU ORDERS SERVICE CHIEFS, IGP TO GO AFTER KILLERS OF BENUE PEOPLE
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the nation’s security chiefs and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to hunt down those responsible for the recent spate of killings in Benue State.
He gave the directive on Wednesday during a visit to Makurdi, the Benue State capital, following renewed deadly attacks in the North-Central state.
“Police, I hope your men are on alert to listen to information. How come no arrest has been made? I expect there should be an arrest of those criminals,” Tinubu stated during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Benue Government House.
Directing further remarks to the top brass of the military and intelligence community, the President added:
“Christopher (the Chief of Defence Staff), you have given much. I watch your comments, you can’t be tired of staying in the bush. Oloyede and the Air Marshal, we thank all of you, but we need to keep our ears to the ground, let’s get those criminals, let’s get them out.
“DG NIA, DG SSS, retool your information channels and let’s have tangible intelligence so that this will not occur again.”
