Benue crisis: “Police have made some arrests” – Musa

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, has announced that the police have arrested several individuals and that actions are being taken following the killings that occurred in Benue State.

Musa disclosed this while fielding questions on a National Television.

Recall that more than 200 residents of Guma LGA in the state were killed in the past few days by suspected herdsmen, causing outrage among citizens.

However, Musa stated that investigations were ongoing with the Department of State Services, DSS, and all stakeholders were working together.

He stated that, “Because we are law-abiding individuals, so we have to be sure of what we’re doing. Because it was not announced doesn’t mean it is not taking place. The police have arrested some people, and actions are being taken”. Investigations are ongoing with the DSS, the police.
