Former Senate President, David Mark, has expressed concerns over the continuous brutal killings in Benue State, warning that residents may resort to defending themselves if the government does not adequately protect lives and property.

Mark disclosed this in a statement issued by his media aide, Paul Mumeh, on Sunday in Abuja, describing the wave of attacks and killings across Benue communities as “senseless, tragic, and unacceptable.”

“This is the unfortunate reality the Benue people are confronted with.

“Government must rise to its responsibility, or risk leaving the people with no option but to defend themselves,” Mark said.

The former Senate President lamented the sustained loss of lives and destruction of property in his home state, reiterating that the foremost duty of any government is to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens.

“Any deviation from this mandate constitutes a gross disservice to the people,” he added.

Mark urged the federal government to urgently fulfil its constitutional obligation to safeguard the lives and properties of all Nigerians, stressing that citizens should never be left at the mercy of armed attackers.

He also charged the Benue State government, under Governor Hyacinth Alia, to scale up efforts to restore peace and security in troubled communities.

In his appeal for grassroots collaboration, Mark urged traditional rulers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to remain vigilant and work closely with security agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of the violence.

“This is a trying moment for our people.

“We must unite, mobilise, and speak with one voice against the invaders. We must refuse to bow to fear,” he said.

Mark urged residents to remain law-abiding and not take the law into their own hands, but instead to continue exhibiting the values of resilience, peace, and communal support.

“Despite the ongoing provocations, we must remain law-abiding, stay united, and uphold the enduring spirit of being our brothers’ keeper,” he said.
