Otukpo Killings: Tinubu must end Nigeria’s descent into ‘Republic of Bloodshed’ — Agada

Peter Agada, the 2027 presidential hopeful of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently reform Nigeria's security architecture following the July 12, 2026 killings in Akpachi and Otukpo-Nobi communities in Benue State. Agada claimed that over 50 people were killed, higher than the official count of 18, and that many residents were displaced. He accused the government of responding only with condolences and promises, and demanded a 'digital-age security machine' to identify and prosecute perpetrators of violent crimes.
