2015 elections in Benue will be bloody unless the illegal arms in circulation are withdrawn- DSS

The Department of State Security (DSS) in Benue State has said that the forthcoming elections in the state would be bloody unless the illegal arms in circulation are withdrawn.

According to the DSS, the quantity of firearms in circulation in the state which has had a number of farmer-herder clashes recently, is scary and is dangerous to the 2015 elections.
 
Deputy Director of the Service, Frank Obi, who spoke during a meeting organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Makurdi, said there is a need to address the issue to ensure a peaceful election next year.
"Nobody is worried about retrieving them. The arms are mostly in the possession of youths and must be totally mopped up in-order for next year’s elections not to be turned into a battle field.” he said.

  14. I have also thought about this as an indigene of Benue. It's really terrible...they point a gun at someone even when trying to collect your mobile phone no matter how cheap the phone is. My mum almost had her hand bag snatched recently at gun point in Makurdi, she screamed 'JEESUUS' at the boys and out of shock they started saying' mummy sorry','its okay' and they left without snatching the bag or hurting her. Gov Suswam, do something and stop gallivanting all over the place.

    1. And when we split, what happens to those that remain??! The bickering and division still continues. The sooner we stop with this religioethnogeographical sentiment, the better for us! Easy said than done though....
