Dr David Olofu, African Democratic Congress (ADC) senatorial candidate for Benue South Senatorial District, has urged government at all levels to strengthen security in vulnerable communities following renewed attacks in Otukpo Local Government Area (LGA).
Olofu made the call on Sunday while reacting to the early morning attacks on Apachi and Otukpo-Nobi communities in Okete District, allegedly carried out by suspected armed herdsmen.
The senatorial candidate decried the recurring attacks on communities across the senatorial district and urged security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and ensure those responsible were brought to justice.
He described the attacks as deliberate acts of aggression and stressed the need for decisive action to secure communities and safeguard human lives.
The ADC candidate sympathised with families of the victims and prayed for the repose of those killed and for comfort for the bereaved.
