The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has called on Governor Hyacinth Alia to revise his approach to addressing security issues in the state.
The opposition partys advice was conveyed in a statement by its publicity secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, while expressing condolences to the government and people of Ukum Local Government Area following recent killings.
The statement followed a violent protest in Ayati village, where killings by local bandits led to the destruction of both personal and government properties by protesters.
The governor responded to the protests by imposing a 24-hour curfew in the affected local government.
While consoling those who lost loved ones and sympathizing with those whose properties were destroyed, the PDP condemned the actions of those taking the law into their own hands.
