‘’My heart is heavy, terribly sad, terribly angry! It’s become a national emergency
what is going on in my state, Benue state….I can’t wrap my head around it. It’s just business as usual.
Condemn the killings but this thing has to stop. This thing has to involve everybody in this country. It is not child’s play.
It’s becoming ridiculous. Haba! I don’t even know where to express my sadness, my grief, my anger, my frustration,
for this thing to keep happening over and over again..every time it happens we will call on the governor, call on the President…Hab!!!
This thing is not funny. It’s not funny anymore. It’s gone beyond condemning. Serious action needs to start to take place”
