Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface Idibia, has appealed to stakeholders to take action and do more than condemn the recent killings in Benue to avoid a recurrence.
In a video circulating on social media on Monday June 16, 2025, Idibia appeared bothered about the killings in Benue, his state of origin.
He expressed sadness over the recent spate of attacks in the state, which claimed about 100 lives and left many with injuries.
“My heart is heavy. I am terribly sad and terribly angry. What is going on in my state, Benue State, has become a national emergency. I can’t wrap my head around it.
“I don’t know what to say at this point in time. It is going to be business as usual, you condemn it. This has to stop. It has to involve everybody,” said Idibia.
A solution to the attack, according to the musician, will involve relevant stakeholders and serious actions rather than just condemning the attacks every time they happen.
“This is not child’s play. It is becoming ridiculous. It is annoying. I don’t know where to start expressing my sadness, anger, grief, or frustration. Every time we call on governors and presidents. This is not funny anymore.
“It has gone beyond condemning. Serious action needs to start to take place; every stakeholder needs to come together and fight this. There is a solution. Let us be serious with it” he added.
