President Bola Tinubu has expressed displeasure over the failure of security agencies to apprehend suspects linked to the brutal attack on Yelewata community in Benue State, which claimed over 200 lives.
Speaking during a town hall meeting with stakeholders at the Benue State Government House in Makurdi on Wednesday, the President questioned the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over the lack of arrests several days after the tragic incident.
“Police, I hope your men are on alert to listen to information. How come no arrest has been made? I expect there should be an arrest of those criminals,” Tinubu stated during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Benue Government House.

Directing further remarks to the top brass of the military and intelligence community, the President added:
“Christopher (the Chief of Defence Staff), you have given much. I watch your comments, you can’t be tired of staying in the bush. Oloyede and the Air Marshal, we thank all of you, but we need to keep our ears to the ground, let’s get those criminals, let’s get them out.
“DG NIA, DG SSS, retool your information channels and let’s have tangible intelligence so that this will not occur again.”
