Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to intensify efforts to protect lives and property following recent attacks on communities in Benue State.
Obi made the call in a post on his X platform on Saturday after visiting Otukpo-Nobi and Efeyi-Ugboju communities, which were recently affected by attacks.
He said more than 10 people were either killed or missing in the attack on Otukpo-Nobi, while several others sustained injuries and were receiving treatment in hospital.
According to Obi, more than 13 people were also reportedly killed and several others injured in a separate attack on Efeyi-Ugboju.
He added that while he was in the area, he was informed that 14 people had been kidnapped earlier in the morning along Ankpechi Road.
