CONYL Demands Governor Alia's Resignation After Ayilamo Attack
The Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL) condemned the recent attack on the Ayilamo community in Tombo Ward, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, demanding the immediate resignation of Governor Alia due to ongoing security failures. In a statement issued by President General Comrade Goodluck Ibem and Secretary General Comrade Junard Abubakar, CONYL noted that the Benue State Police Command confirmed the deaths of 11 individuals, including seven civilians and four Mobile Police officers: ASP Paul Ina, Inspector Mohammed Yusuf, Inspector Oge Ikechukwu, and Inspector Edeh Andrew.
The police engaged the attackers in a prolonged gun battle before they retreated. CONYL expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and criticized the cycle of violence in Benue, questioning how many more attacks must occur before political accountability is enforced.
They demanded a thorough investigation into the Ayilamo massacre to identify all perpetrators and assess the security response.
