The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has vowed to end the mindless killings in Benue State and other parts of the country. 


The IGP made the pledge when he visited Governor Hyacinth Alia, assuring that the police would do everything possible to fish out and arrest the perpetrators of the recent attacks in Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area.


IGP Egbetokun emphasized that the attacks are not just an assault on the people of Benue but also an attack on Nigeria's sovereignty and integrity. 


Assuring the governor and the people of Benue that the police would work closely with other security agencies to restore peace in the state, IGP promised to deploy more police personnel to support existing security efforts and protect lives and property.


Governor Alia appreciated the I-G's visit, expressing hope that it would uplift the spirit of the victims and assure them that the security agencies are committed to their safety. 


The IGP later visited the Yelwata community, met with locals, and addressed senior police officers in the state.
