The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has relocated to Makurdi, the Benue State capital
He relocated over the incessant k!llings of villagers by herders and militia groups.
The k!lling, which is becoming almost a daily occurrence, has left many dead, several others injured, maimed, and several houses burnt, rendering many homeless.
It was gathered that Lt Gen Oluyede departed Abuja, Tuesday morning, accompanied by his Principal Staff Officers (PSOs) and other top officers at the Army Headquarters, to the state to have an on-the-spot assessment of the situation on the ground.
Sources further said the army chief has ordered the deployment of more troops to the state to give the militia and other armed groups terrorising the people of the state the battle of their lives.
General Oluyede, while in the state, will personally lead troops in the operation on the battlefront. He is expected to spend some days in the state before relocating back to Abuja.
