Calling for foreign air strikes on Nigerian soil should tell us how deep the insecurity in Benue has become. Former AGF Michael Aondoakaa’s statement isn’t just controversial, it’s a loud signal of desperation after years of killings, displacement, and silence.
When communities are overrun and lives are lost in their hundreds, people start demanding extreme solutions. But the real question remains: why has it come to this? Security is a core responsibility of government. Nigerians shouldn’t be debating foreign intervention before decisive local action. Benue deserves safety, dignity, and urgent protection now, not promises for 2027.
