The IGP’s arrival in Benue State on Monday, June 16, 2025, also followed President Bola Tinubu’s directive to security chiefs to bring lasting peace and security to the state.
Gunmen had, last Friday, killed scores and displaced hundreds of people in the state.

Tinubu, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday, ordered intelligence chiefs, the police, and the military to direct security operations to end the killings in the North-Central state.
Describing the killings and bloodletting as inhuman and anti-progress, the president also called on political leaders and community leaders in conflict areas to stop fuelling the crisis through unguarded utterances and statements that could further inflame tensions.
