…launches POCACOV office

By Peter Duru, Makurdi

The Benue State Police Command has intensified its engagement with young people in the state, launching a fresh campaign against cultism, violence, drug abuse and other forms of criminality as part of activities marking the 2026 National Youth Day.

The initiative was unveiled during a stakeholders’ youth dialogue organised by the Command, which brought together representatives of student unions, youth associations and other youth-focused organisations across the state.

The engagement also featured the kick-start of the Office of the Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV) in Benue, designed to deepen advocacy and sensitisation among young people.
