BENUE KILLINGS: LABOUR PARTY DEMANDS PROBE, MILITARY DEPLOYMENT.

The Labour Party has also condemned the mass killings in Benue State, describing the attacks as "a fresh wave of senseless killings." 

The party's National Caretaker Committee, led by Senator Nenadi Usman, in a statement on Monday, demanded a full-scale investigation and immediate prosecution of the perpetrators, regardless of their affiliations or social status. 

Expressing concern over the level of violence, noting that the government’s continued failure to protect its citizens has led to a national shame, Usman lamented that the helplessness of the displaced and the boldness of the attackers reveal a dangerous vacuum in leadership and accountability.

The Labour Party has, therefore, called for a robust humanitarian response, including food, shelter, medical care, and trauma support for survivors. 

Usman urged Nigerians to demand concrete action, warning that silence and inaction only embolden perpetrators, just as the party pledged to continue advocating for policies that prioritize the safety and dignity of all Nigerians, especially those in rural and conflict-prone communities.
