CDS Revisits Benue, Vows to Restore Peace

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has returned to Benue State, where he met with prominent traditional rulers and elders to discuss the recent attacks and killings in the region.

A statement issued by Brigadier General Tukur Gusau Director, Defence Information today in Abuja.

He said during the meeting, General Musa gave a firm assurance of the Armed Forces’ commitment to restoring peace and stability in the region.

He emphasized the gravity of the security challenges in the state and the need for collaborative solutions.

The meeting, which involved extensive interaction, brought together the Tor Tiv, Ochidoma, first- and second-class chiefs, and elders from various zones of the state.

The forum provided an avenue for open dialogue on the root causes of the recurring attacks by suspected herdsmen, as well as the identification of actionable solutions.

The Tor Tiv and Chairman of the Benue State Traditional Council, His Royal Majesty Professor James Ortese Tyozua Ayatse, commended the CDS for his commitment and proactive engagement.

He lamented the marginalization of traditional rulers in governance and decision-making processes, despite their strategic role in peacebuilding.

The traditional rulers identified the activities of suspected herdsmen and bandits—especially the grazing of cattle on farmlands—as a major driver of insecurity, forcing locals to abandon ancestral homes for IDP camps.

They called on the government to act with fairness and impartiality in addressing the crisis.

General Musa urged the traditional rulers to continue playing their crucial role as custodians of peace. He called for their support in identifying collaborators within their communities who may be aiding external aggressors.

The CDS pledged to relay the outcomes of the meeting to the Presidency and assured the royal fathers of sustained efforts towards finding lasting peace.
