Senate President David Mark has appealed to victims of the recent communal clash in Benue state to refrain from engaging in reprisal attacks as government was making efforts to address the matter.
The appeal was contained in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by Mark’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Paul Mumeh. Part of the statement read, “I can feel your pains and agonies. It is a disturbing situation. However, vengeance or reprisal attack is not the answer".
"It is the primary responsibility of government to protect the citizenry. Government would reinforce security in this environment so that you can return to your homes and go about your legitimate businesses".
He further called for cooperation between Benue, Kogi and Nasarawa Governments to ensure adequate security in boundary communities in order to check incursion by mercenaries.(NAN)
