Former Senate President, David Mark, has called for restraint and urged against reprisals in response to recent terrorist attacks across Benue State.

The attacks, which have affected communities in Otukpo, Agatu, Apa, Ohimini, Okpokwu, Ado, Ogbadibo, Gwer-West, Gwer-East, Katsina-Ala, Logo, and Ukum LGAs, have led to significant loss of life and destruction of properties worth billions of naira.

In Gwer-West, the killing of residents prompted protests by angry youths, and fresh violence in Otukpo last week resulted in numerous fatalities and abductions. Mark, in his reaction, expressed grave concern over the worsening security situation in the state and called for thorough investigations to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“It is heartwarming that some of the beasts involved in these dastardly acts have been apprehended by security agents,” Mark said. “I urge all concerned to carry out diligent investigations and ensure that all those directly and indirectly involved face the full wrath of the law.”

Mark also called on youths in the affected communities to remain vigilant, emphasizing the importance of reporting any suspicious activities to law enforcement agencies in order to prevent future attacks.

He strongly cautioned against ethnic profiling and retaliatory violence, urging communities to avoid actions that could exacerbate the already tense situation. “There should be no stereotyping of any ethnic group or reprisal attacks on any group of people due to these unfortunate incidents,” he said.

Finally, Mark extended his condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the attacks, saying, “I commiserate with those who lost their loved ones at the hands of the marauders. May their souls rest in peace.”
