What’s happening in Benue is not just another security crisis. It is an organized assault, and Governor Hyacinth Alia is making it clear that this isn’t coming from the shadows. It’s coming from the top. Politicians. Big names in Abuja. Members of the National Assembly. That’s who he says is backing the terror in his state.
The violence is brutal. Entire communities wiped out. Homes burned. Lives lost. But this isn’t random. According to Alia, it’s funded. It’s coordinated. And it’s protected by powerful people who think they can’t be touched.
The governor has already set up a judicial panel to dig into the truth. And the early reports? They are explosive. The panel has reportedly identified connections between the violence on the ground and political figures at the highest levels. Alia hasn’t released the full report yet, but he says the names are coming soon.
This isn’t just about land or tribal disputes anymore. It’s about power plays. The kind that treat ordinary lives like collateral damage. And it’s happening right under the nose of a system that is supposed to protect its people.
Alia says he won’t stand down. Once the report is out, there will be action. But in the meantime, Benue bleeds. And the country waits to see if justice will finally come from a place higher than fear.
