Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State, on Saturday, inaugurated a new security outfit called the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.

Governor Alia explained that the security outfit aims to complement conventional security operatives in tackling insecurity within the state.

He urged the personnel to uphold the safety and security of the communities and to embody the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in their duties.

“Your role is critical to the success of our security initiatives, and I am confident that you will rise to the occasion,” he added.

Nigeria is starting to get serious.

Hopefully, they would have an undercover unit deployed to all those villages and towns along the Benue-Taraba-Nasarawa axis to gather intel and prevent attacks rather than only react to attacks.

State police is gradually been established.

The killings will not stop.
The governor knows the truth and he knows this is not the solution.
But we'll let's keep fooling each other

Great one

State police is the way.

Good move by the Governor. I just hope it brings back the beauty of Agriculture in Benue state.

If you know the answer why don't you tell the class, nobody cares about your complain, outlining the problem like nobody can.

If you know the solution, state it, or stfu.

Hope they are rugged enough for the job. That uniform is too bright for such daunting task.
