Benue Government Condemns Communal Clash, Urges Peace
The Benue State Government condemned a recent communal clash between residents of Kaambe Council Ward in Guma Local Government Area and Mbachaverikondo Council Ward in Tarka Local Government Area. Chief Solomon Iorpev, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday.
He expressed gratitude that no lives were lost but condemned the destruction of property and looting in the affected areas. Iorpev described the incident as unacceptable, urging unity among Benue citizens to face external security challenges rather than turning against each other.
He warned that such destruction could hinder development and inflict hardship on the communities involved. The Alia-led administration is committed to protecting lives and property while promoting development.
Iorpev called for peace and restraint among residents and directed security agencies to restore calm and ensure accountability for those responsible for the violence.
