Over 200 people were killed in coordinated attacks on Benue’s Yelewata and Daudu communities on June 13. According to TheCable, IGP Kayode Egbetokun announced that 28 suspects linked to the killings have now been arrested. The slogan “Silent Graves” echoes the weight of the lives lost and the need for accountability.
- 28 suspects arrested, including 22 linked to a separate killing in Plateau State.
- Over 200 people, including IDPs and farmers, were killed in the Benue attacks.
- Tinubu earlier criticised the police for the delay in arrests after the massacre.
- IGP says police are still pursuing suspects and increasing arms confiscation efforts.
Silent Graves are not just resting places; they’re markers of lives that ended without warning, and justice that comes late, if at all. The Benue killings are not numbers, they are silences waiting for the nation to answer.
