The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has assured Nigerians of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment  to end insecurity in the country, while conveying the President’s sympathy to Benue people over the alleged series of killings in the state.

Ribadu made this remark at the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, in Plateau State over the reported killings and clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Plateau and Benue states, stating that the country would defeat evil forces killing citizens and sacking communities all over the country.

Ribadu, who acknowledged efforts of the Benue State governor, Hyacinth Alia, in addressing insecurity, warned against individuals exploiting the situation for personal gain.

Alia, in his remarks, said the situation in Benue State was pathetic, adding that the killers have a pattern of attack and retreat. He further appreciated the president for taking interest in protecting the people.
