Major General Moses Gara, the Force Commander of the Joint Task Force Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), has clarified that the prevailing insecurity in Benue State is primarily associated with criminal activities rather than a coordinated Islamist agenda aimed at seizing indigenous lands. During a review of security operations on Saturday, he emphasized that intelligence and operational findings do not corroborate claims of an organized effort to displace local communities. This statement comes amid ongoing concerns regarding violence and unrest in the region, which has been a focal point for security forces. The OPWS continues to monitor the situation closely to address the underlying issues contributing to the insecurity.
