WE ARE TIRED OF MOURNING, CONDOLENCE VISITS - SENATE.

The Nigerian Senate has expressed frustration over the incessant killings in the country, particularly in Benue State, calling for an end to the bloodshed. 

Reacting to the incidents, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, stated that the Senate and Nigerians are tired of mourning victims of massacres and paying condolence visits to affected families, stressing that security is a local issue, therefore, locals must be part of the solution. 

Adaramodu noted that the Senate, in collaboration with the executive, has appropriated adequate funds to support the military and security agencies, adding that the Upper Chamber also plan to organize a national security summit to find lasting solutions to the security challenges in the country.

He further said that the Senate delegation plans to visit Benue State to commiserate with the victims' families and stakeholders.
