‘How Long Will Nigeria Keep Burying Its Heroes?’ — Peter Obi Reacts To Benue Ambush

Published

on

The brutal ambush that claimed the lives of security operatives in Benue State has drawn strong condemnation from former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who says the nation cannot continue to watch its uniformed men slaughtered without decisive action.

The attack, which occurred at Agu Centre in Mbatyula/Mberev Council Ward, Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, left at least 16 officers feared dead after suspected herdsmen and militia gangs opened fire on a joint security patrol.

Trucks were set ablaze, motorcycles looted, and several personnel remain unaccounted for.

Obi, reacting via his X handle on Tuesday, described the incident as another heartbreaking reminder of Nigeria’s deepening insecurity.

“Our gallant soldiers, policemen, members of the Civil Defence Corps, and even local vigilantes are being cut down almost daily. They pay the ultimate price for our safety, yet the nation continues to mourn without real solutions,” he wrote.

The former presidential hopeful declared that political leaders can no longer turn a blind eye, insisting that security must become the core of governance.

“These recurring killings should serve as a wake-up call to us leaders to better equip and motivate our security operatives. Security must now become the foundation of governance,” Obi said.

Beyond equipment and training, Obi urged government to stand by the families of fallen heroes.

“The wives, children, and parents of these officers must be adequately compensated and supported. That is not charity, it is justice,” he stressed.

He ended his statement with a solemn tribute: “To every fallen hero, may your soul rest in peace. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, and your families are not alone.”

The exercise followed a similar inspection of mosques across the FCT on Friday, November 6, as the Command sustained efforts to strengthen security around religious centres.

He also commended residents for their peaceful and orderly conduct following mosque and church services, noting that public cooperation remained essential to maintaining security and public order across the territory.

The commissioner urged residents to continue cooperating with the police and other law enforcement agencies, remain security-conscious and promptly report suspicious persons, movements or activities to the nearest police station.

He further encouraged residents to utilise the Command’s emergency lines, 08032003913 and 08061581938, to report security concerns.

Adeh said the Command’s Public Relations Office remained open and accessible to members of the public for enquiries, complaints, information and other security-related matters.
