The Benue State House of Assembly has formally requested that the federal authorities prioritize the safety of exposed regions and bring the perpetrators of the recent violence in the Sai community of Katsina-Ala Local Government Area to justice. During a plenary session led by Speaker Berger Alfred Emberga, the legislative body expressed strong disapproval of the assault, which they labeled as savage and intolerable. Reports indicate that the raid, attributed to armed herders on July 5, 2026, resulted in the loss of 11 lives.
Legislators are pushing for both federal and state administrations to enhance security deployments to safeguard residents and their assets from future occurrences. Law enforcement has been tasked with tracking down the attackers to ensure they face legal consequences. Furthermore, the Assembly has mandated that the Benue State Emergency Management Agency distribute essential supplies to the survivors, providing immediate relief to those impacted by the tragedy.
