The paramount ruler of the Tiv nation, Professor James Ayatse, has issued a decisive two-day ultimatum to traditional rulers in Benue State, a move aimed at ending the protracted conflict ravaging parts of the state. The Tor Tiv, as he is traditionally known, gave the stern directive from his palace in Gboko following a high-stakes meeting with council chairmen and chiefs from the affected Konshisha and Gwer East local government areas. This royal order is a direct response to the escalating violence between the Ugambe and Mbaiase communities, which has been exacerbated by the presence of armed militias and hired killers. The conflict, which has led to significant loss of life and property, was identified by community leaders at the meeting as being fundamentally a land dispute. This revelation underscored the need for immediate and firm action from the traditional institution. Professor Ayatse’s ultimatum serves as a clear signal that the Tiv nation’s leadership will not tolerate the sheltering of mercenaries or any acts that prolong the crisis. He warned village heads in no uncertain terms that harbouring those responsible for the killings would be met with severe consequences, stressing that such practices undermine security and worsen the humanitarian situation.

Home births are on the rise in Benue State, not because they are safer, but because public health facilities are broken beyond trust. Pregnant women are turning to unsafe havens of giving birth at home and even patronizing traditional birth attendance (TBA). By: David Arome For 22-year-old Martha Agur, living in the Ageraga – kohol community, Kwande LGA, Benue State, giving birth at a government-owned health facility was never an option to accept. The closest health clinic to her is a distance away with no functional delivery equipment, no midwives and no power supply. Martha recalled her ordeal at the health clinic she once visited: “I have been there; the health worker told me they had no gloves, medicines or even delivery beds.” Her husband, Agur, a subsistence farmer, had once sold off their only goat to pay for Martha’s antenatal visit to the town. But could no longer afford to continue due to financial constraints.

In Kwara State, Nigeria, the tragic case of Hafsoh Lawal exposes the deadly consequences of technology-facilitated gender-based violence. What began as an online connection quickly turned into a brutal reality, highlighting the urgent need to address this growing crisis in the digital age. By: Sanni Alausa-Issa On February 14, 2025, four days after Hafsoh Lawal was declared missing in Ilorin, Kwara State, a dismembered body was found. It was hers. She was 23. Four days prior, Hafsoh had vanished after attending a friend’s naming ceremony, never to return home. Her frantic family alerted authorities, triggering an urgent search. The digital trail from Hafsoh’s phone had led investigators to a house in Ilorin’s Offa Garage area, uncovering the unimaginable: Hafsoh’s dismembered remains concealed grotesquely in a bowl. The ring, once a simple token of youthful identity, had now become an emblem of unspeakable horror. It was all her father, Ibrahim Lawal, had left to confirm the unimaginable loss. The cold metal shone harshly beneath the stark lights, silently narrating the final, devastating chapter of Hafsoh’s story. Outside, beyond the fluorescent glare, Nigeria moves on unaware, like a nation indifferent or numb to the quiet epidemic that has stolen another daughter. This […]
