 AGATU YOUTHS BLOCK OWETO-OTUKPO ROAD, DEMAND URGENT GOVERNMENT ACTION ON KILLINGS IN BENUE  Hundreds of youths from Agatu Local Government Area in Benue State blocked the Oweto–Otukpo highway on Saturday, protesting persistent attacks on residents by suspected armed herders. The demonstration, organized by the Agatu West Peace and Unity Forum, highlighted growing insecurity in the area and demanded urgent intervention from both the Federal and State governments. The protest began Friday and continued into Saturday, causing traffic disruptions along the Oweto Bridge. Agatu, predominantly an Idoma community, relies on farming and fishing, but decades of militia attacks have left many villages deserted. Over 15 communities have reportedly been overrun since 2013, with hundreds of residents killed or displaced. Protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as “Stop Agatu killings now” and “We do not need Fulani in Agatu.” Mr. Ebi Lucky, National Youth President of the Agatu ...

GOV. SANWO-OLU EXPRESSES SADNESS OVER DEATH OF OJODU GRAMMAR SCHOOL STUDENTS.[PHOTO].#PRESS RELEASE

-

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the students of Ojodu Grammar school, who were crushed to death by a truck driver yesterday.


In a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile on Wednesday, Sanwo-Olu described the demise of the students as sad, unfortunate and avoidable.


The Governor sympathised with families of the bereaved students, their relatives, friends, management and staff of Ojodu Grammar school.


He said: "I commiserate with the parents, management, staff and students of Ojodu Grammar school over this unfortunate death of our students, whose lives were cut short by a truck driver yesterday.


"The sad incident has left me devastated since yesterday because it is terrible to hear about the death of innocent children, especially in a clearly avoidable circumstance like what happened yesterday.


"As a parent, words cannot express how shattered I was when I learnt about the incident. No one's life, including those vibrant students, who were returning from where they had gone to learn for a better future, deserved to be ended in that manner.


"My deepest sympathies go out to their parents. I pray that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.


"Our prayers are also with the survivors, who are receiving treatment at the hospitals.


"Meanwhile, we have immediately ordered that the affected schools be shut down till January, while investigations are ongoing. The erring driver has also been arrested."
