A heated social media post by D’naked has sparked a contentious discussion about insecurity and governance in Benue State, Nigeria. The post, shared at 9:59 PM yesterday, critiques the performance of local government officials and the state governor amid ongoing security challenges.
D’naked points to multiple local government areas (LGAs) grappling with insecurity, including Ukum LGA, where internal conflicts and Fulani herdsmen attacks have led to market shutdowns. The post praises Hon. Jonathan Modi for his efforts in this region but raises concerns about Guma, another insecurity hotspot that gained international attention. Hon. Orwough Maurice is commended for his past and current performance in Guma.
The post also questions the allocation of 10 million naira monthly to LGAs as security vote funds, clarifying that recently posted images of donated bikes were provided by the state government, not local chairmen. D’naked challenges claims about Hon. Vitalis Terhile Neji’s success in Turan, alleging daily killings by soldiers and urging caution to avoid provoking unrest among the deceased’s families.
Adding a personal jab, the author calls for Neji to present his scorecard, suggesting a year in office marked by personal property acquisitions rather than public projects. The post concludes with a sarcastic remark about celebrating failure in Benue State and mentions an EFCC invitation letter served to Neji, hinting at ongoing investigations.
The post has ignited a broader conversation, with users like Ordubub deli criticized for promoting security personnel as achievements. As the debate unfolds, the people of Benue State await tangible solutions to the persistent security issues plaguing the region.
