CDS EXPLAINS THREE REASONS FOR THE BENUE MASSACRE.

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has identified three key issues contributing to the ongoing violence between farmers and herders in Benue State, citing land disputes, movement of animals, and cattle rustling as possible causes, stressing that a political solution is necessary to address these critical aspects.

During his visit to Benue State on Tuesday following the killings in some communities, the CDS explained that the land dispute revolves around ownership rights between indigenes and non-indigenes, which can be sorted out politically, noting that the movement of animals is a significant issue, suggesting that regulating grazing routes and cattle management could help resolve the conflict.

General Musa added that his visit to Benue State aims to address the security challenges in the region and find a lasting solution to the farmer-herder conflict.
