President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday announced the creation of a peace committee to address the recurring attacks in Benue state.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting held at the government house banquet hall in Makurdi, Tinubu said the committee would comprise traditional rulers, including the Tor Tiv, James Ayatse, the Och’Idoma, and other key leaders.
The president was in Benue to commiserate with the state government and the people over recent attacks by suspected herdsmen which left over 200 people dead in Yelewata and Daudu communities in Guma LGA.
“I want us to create this leadership committee now and then meet in Abuja to fashion out the nucleus for lasting peace, and I’m ready to invest in that peace,” Tinubu said.
