Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has called for community policing as a solution to the insecurity crisis in the state. 


This comes after recent attacks by armed herders left over 300 people dead.


Governor Alia warned against communities resorting to self-defense, saying that it would make them more vulnerable to further attacks.


Emphasizing that community policing is the best approach, as locals would better understand their security needs, the governor stated that people from within the state and local government would be more effective in addressing the security challenges.


He also stressed the need for a sustainable solution to the insecurity crisis in Benue State.
