Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has strongly denounced the killing of two travelers by suspected criminals in the Agan community, located in Makurdi.

In a statement released on Tuesday in Makurdi by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Tersoo Kula, the governor expressed outrage over the incident.

He described the attack as “barbaric and unacceptable,” and revealed that five individuals have already been apprehended in connection with the killings.

Governor Alia noted that the victims were passing through Benue while traveling from the northern region of the country.

“I’m deeply saddened by the murder of two persons who were travelling through Benue from Kano state by some criminal elements.

“Benue people are known for their hospitality and peaceful disposition.

“We cannot allow some criminal elements to tarnish our good image and create a contrary one for our people.

“These criminals must be fished out immediately and made to face the full wrath of the law,” Kula quoted Alia as saying.

Alia also condoled with Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state and the immediate families of deceased persons over the tragic and regrettable loss.

“Earlier in the day, I spoke with my brother, Gov. Abba Yusuf over the unfortunate incident.

“We are working closely towards ensuring that this incident doesn’t escalate into security breach in any part of the country,” he said.
