Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has claimed it would have been better if President Bola Tinubu had not visited Benue State than to visit the state and remain unfeeling towards the plight of its people.
Farotimi stated that the only person who said anything of note during the president’s visit to Benue was the Tor Tiv, 5th, James Ayatse.
The lawyer said Ayatse described the attacks as a “calculated, well-planned, full-scale genocidal invasion and land grabbing campaign by herder terrorists and bandits.”
Farotimi stated today while fielding questions Television show that the president visited Benue yesterday as part of efforts to address the violent attacks in the state.
Recall that over 200 residents of Guma LGA were killed in the past few days by suspected herdsmen, leading to outrage among citizens.
