The Northern Senators Forum on Wednesday condemned the recent killings in Benue and Kaduna states, describing the attacks as tragic and calling for intensified efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The forum also backed the Federal Government’s latest security measures, including the planned expansion of the Nigerian Army and the recruitment of additional personnel, saying the move would strengthen the country’s response to growing security threats.
The position was contained in a condolence message issued in Abuja by the forum’s Chairman, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua.
The statement followed separate attacks in the two states that claimed dozens of lives and displaced several families.
