Gov’ship Aspirant Condemns Benue Killings

A governorship hopeful in Benue State for the 2027 race, Dr Simon Ater, has strongly condemned the incessant killings and kidnappings across Benue communities, describing the situation as “one too many tragedies that must no longer be tolerated.”

Ater expressed deep sorrow over the latest attack in Achakpa community in Makurdi, where more than three persons were gruesomely murdered and several others abducted.

In a statement signed by the media director, AterSimon foundation, Elizabeth Atime-Chirkpi, the governorship aspirant lamented how these attacks come shortly after over 200 lives were lost in Yelwata, stressing that Benue people are being slaughtered with reckless abandon.
