Tinubu Visits Survivors Of Yelewata Attack In Benue Hospital
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

President Bola Tinubu visits Benue after a deadly herdsmen attack claimed over 200 lives in Yelewata community.
The attack, which occurred in Guma Local Government Area, left the region in mourning and fear of further violence.
Tinubu visits Benue to offer condolences and assess the aftermath of one of the bloodiest attacks in recent memory.

He arrived at the Nigeria Air Force Base Airport, Makurdi, around 12:58 p.m., welcomed by dignitaries and state officials.
Senator George Akume, Governor Hyacinth Alia, and other North Central leaders received the President upon his arrival.
Senator Abba Moro and federal lawmakers from Benue also joined the welcoming party, showing bipartisan concern over the crisis.

After brief airport formalities, Tinubu visits Benue State University Teaching Hospital to sympathise with survivors of the brutal attack.
He later proceeded to the Government House for a town hall meeting with key stakeholders from across Benue state communities.
The visit aimed to strengthen dialogue and seek long-term solutions to the recurring herdsmen violence plaguing the region.

Many Benue residents expressed mixed feelings, torn between gratitude for the visit and frustration over recurring bloodshed.
Some locals believe the President’s visit shows empathy and concern, offering solace to grieving families and wounded survivors.
Others argued the visit was symbolic without meaningful security reforms to prevent future massacres and land-based conflicts.

Tinubu visits Benue amid rising expectations for urgent government intervention in rural security and internally displaced persons’ welfare.
The town hall discussions are expected to yield policy directions and reinforce cooperation among security agencies and local authorities.
As President Tinubu visits Benue, national attention remains fixed on what concrete actions will follow this high-profile condolence trip.
