 17 OF 23 BENUE LGAs UNDER SIEGE, THOUSANDS DISPLACED - BSEMA BOSS RAISES ALARM


9th October, 2025  


The Executive Secretary of the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA), Dr. James Iorpuu, has revealed that 17 out of the 23 local government areas in Benue State are currently under various forms of attack, displacing thousands of residents across the affected regions.


Addressing journalists in Makurdi on Wednesday, Dr. Iorpuu said only Ogbadibo, Ohimini, Konshisha, Gboko, Ushongo, and one other council area have so far been spared from the wave of violence.


He lamented that the persistent insecurity has rendered hundreds of thousands of citizens homeless and financially stranded, stressing the urgent need for government intervention.


Dr. Iorpuu, who also serves as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, warned that unless the Rivers Benue and Niger are dredged, Nigeria would continue to suffer annual flooding disasters of devastating magnitude.


Speaking further, he noted that the recent Conference of State Emergency Management Agencies held in Lagos had strengthened the capacity of emergency responders in Benue State.


Commending Governor Hyacinth Alia, Dr. Iorpuu praised his leadership, saying the governor’s performance has surpassed public expectations.


Reacting to a report by an independent assessor which rated the Alia administration as “average,” the BSEMA boss disagreed, stating:


“For the governor to have not borrowed a single kobo from any financial institution since assuming office is a clear demonstration of discipline, accountability, and purposeful leadership.”


He also disclosed that the Divine Mandate group — the platform that persuaded Governor Alia to contest the 2023 election — remains proud of his performance and is preparing for the second phase of its campaign to showcase his achievements ahead of the 2027 polls.
