Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, has highlighted three critical issues in the Yelewata town, Benue State, massacre by suspected herdsmen.

The CDS spoke when he visited Benue on Tuesday over the spark in killing at Benue communities.

According to him, there are three-pronged issues to the Benue crisis between farmers and herders, namely land dispute and cattle rustling.

He noted that a political solution is the best fix to the three issues.

“There are two or three issues.

“One is the issue of land. Indigenes or non-indigenes. It is critical. Which can be sorted out politically. Secondly is the issue of the movement of animals.

“If the animals don’t move, we don’t have an issue. We also have the issue of animal rustling. These are the critical aspects that must be addressed,” according to the Channels Television video.
This comes as over 300 people were killed in Yelewata town in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State on June 13-14, 2025.
