Popular comedian and content creator, Koboko, has staged a protest against President Bola Tinubu. Defying the recent heavy rainfall, Koboko and his content team marched in protest against the latest killings in Benue State.
According to him, the president has clearly failed the people with his inability to protect the lives and properties of citizens.
Urging Nigerians to reject President Tinubu in 2027, the protesters demonstrated with inscriptions like “Benue Is Bleeding,” “Is Benue Not Part Of Nigeria?”, “StopBenueKillings,” and “May Tinubu Not Happen To Us In 2027,” among others.
Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has come out to deny any involvement of military personnel in the massacre of Nigerians in Benue State.
This is coming after the Nigerian army was accused of conniving with suspected armed herders to launch the heartless attack.
Speaking in Abuja, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, Director of Defence Information, said that the military was not responsible for the killings in Yelwata, and reports saying otherwise should be dismissed.
He stated that there is no credible evidence to back the false claims of internal sabotage within the military, stressing that the Nigerian army remains committed to protecting civilians and upholding the rule of law.

“The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to recent claims suggesting that internal sabotage within the Nigerian military contributed to the tragic events in Yelwata, Benue State, are unfounded and not supported by credible evidence.
The Nigerian military has consistently denied any involvement in the massacre.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, has publicly stated that the military was not responsible for the killings in Yelwata.
Furthermore, the Nigerian Military has emphasized its commitment to protecting civilians and upholding the rule of law.
There is no credible evidence to substantiate claims of internal sabotage within the military related to the Yelwata incident.
Investigations by independent bodies, including human rights organizations, have not found any links between the military and the perpetrators of the massacre,” he said.
