The Philanthropist who condemned in its entirety the nefarious act, described it as a black day for Sankera and the entire Benue State. He described the unwarranted and barbaric attacks on helpless and unarmed farmers as totally unacceptable.

Ugboho, noted that the attacks have become too many, emphasizing the need for all stakeholders irrespective of political affiliation by harnessing ideas that would bring practical and lasting solutions to the wanton killings and destruction of property.
