…Wants security beef up in crime prune areas.
Worried by the un-abating insecurity in parts of Benue State which has claimed scores of lives in recent time, former Senate President, Senator David Mark, Monday condemned in strong terms the menace.
Mark tasked security operatives to immediately to rise up to the challenge by doing the needful.
The former Senate President in a statement by his media assistant, Paul Mumeh recalled that a couple of days ago, unknown gunmen invaded a police station in Ado Local Government Area of Benue State during which four police men on duty were reportedly murdered while some ammunitions were carted away.
He noted that in a similar bizarre circumstance, two students of Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo believed to be brothers were murdered in cold blood by gun men suspected to be cultists.
Senator Mark who said that situation is troubling urged the citizens to cooperate with the security operatives “to fish out the perpetrators of these heinous crimes “.
He lamented that insecurity was taking a toll on the concerted efforts to attract development, saying that all hands must be on deck to end the menace.
He cautioned youths in the state to refrain from any act of criminality or violence because “you will be putting your lives and future in jeopardy.
He said, “As future leaders, our youths should engage in something productive and meaningful. You cannot position yourselves as future leaders and deliberately destroying the proposed future. Enough is enough. A word is enough for the wise”.
