The Idoma Association USA has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take urgent action to address the persistent insecurity in Benue South, urging the Federal Government to strengthen security measures in the area.
In an open letter addressed to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the association expressed concern over the recurring attacks in parts of Benue South, saying the Idoma people have endured years of insecurity and loss.
“We have shown restraint in the face of sustained provocation, but our patience must not be mistaken for weakness, and our blood is not worthless,” the group stated.
The association referenced the recent attacks on Akpachi village in Ugboju and Otukpo-Nobi communities in Otukpo Local Government Area on July 11 and 12, which it said reportedly claimed at least 20 lives.
