By Emmanuel Antswen

Gov. Hyacinth Alia has vowed to deal with insecurity and restore lasting peace in Benue State.

This was made known in a statement on Monday in Makurdi signed by Mr Solomon Iorpev, his Technical Adviser on Media, Publicity, and Strategic Communication.

The governor made the declaration while receiving briefing on the successful deployment and reinforcement of security personnel to troubled areas in Kwande and other affected local governments in the state.

Alia said that perpetrators of insecurity in the state must be brought to justice.

He said the additional deployment is only the beginning of a decisive clampdown on insecurity, adding that his administration would not rest until absolute peace is achieved.

Alia assured the people of the state that his government is working tirelessly to ensure their safety and security, reiterating his commitment to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of peace.

“Let this be a warning to all perpetrators of insecurity: Gov. Alia will not be intimidated.

“I will not be deterred. I will crush insecurity in Benue State,” he declared.
