The killing of scores of people in Yelewata, Benue State, over the weekend has been linked to porous borders and systemic failures in Nigeria.
The killings have since sparked nationwide concerns over a breakdown of the country’s security architecture.
Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast show, The Morning Brief on Monday, the Managing Director of Beacon Security & Intelligence Limited, Kabiru Adamu, said the root problem lies in the failure to properly diagnose the challenge, adding that relevant actors should be held accountable.
Adamu explained that Benue’s location at the intersection of Nasarawa and Taraba, two states grappling with their security troubles and their international border with Cameroon, increases its vulnerability to external threats and foreign intruders. (Channels)
