Former Big Brother Naija star Terseer Waya, popularly known as Kiddwaya, has expressed profound sadness and condemnation over the recent massacre in his home state of Benue, describing the killings as “unacceptable.” In a statement released late Monday, Kiddwaya called for urgent justice for the victims and lasting solutions to the recurring violence that has plagued the region.
Kiddwaya emphasized that the people of Benue deserve to live in peace, free from fear and violence, and criticized political excuses that have so far failed to bring meaningful change. He urged the government, security agencies, and all relevant stakeholders to act decisively to protect residents and hold perpetrators accountable.
The statement read in part: “What is happening today is a humanitarian tragedy that demands urgent attention, justice, and lasting solutions, not silence or political excuses.” He also appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and international partners to stand in solidarity with Benue during this difficult time.
Kiddwaya extended his condolences to the victims, survivors, and affected families, encouraging the people of Benue to persistently demand peace, justice, and the dignity that every human being deserves.
This call for action comes amid a wave of violence in Benue State, where over 200 people were reportedly killed in attacks attributed to herdsmen, sparking widespread protests and national outrage. The crisis highlights the urgent need for comprehensive security and socio-political interventions to end the cycle of violence in the region.
