 "NO ONE WILL TAKE YOUR LAND" - BENUE SPEAKER ASSURES YELEWATA IDPs



The Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh, has assured victims of the recent Yelewata attacks that no one will take their ancestral land, reaffirming the state government’s commitment to their safe return and resettlement.


Dajoh made the statement on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, during a visit by members of the Assembly to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) currently sheltered at the International Market IDP camp in Makurdi. 


Citizen Television had reported that the victims were displaced following the June 13 attack by armed Fulani herdsmen in Yelewata, which claimed several lives and left many injured.


The Speaker condemned the attacks and thanked Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia for his swift response in establishing the IDP camp.


 He also commended the Executive Secretary of SEMA, Sir James Iorpuu, urging transparency in relief efforts.


A minute’s silence was observed in honour of the departed victims.
