Youths in Benue State have taken to the streets to protest the ongoing killings, kidnappings and destruction of property by suspected herdsmen in the state.

The demonstration, which took place in Otukpo saw protesters blocking major roads and chanting “Enough is enough.”

In a video shared by News Central TV, a protester passionately voiced the frustrations of the community stating, “Enough is enough, we will go on a peaceful protest. No man born of a woman can stop us because enough is enough. Look at the way every night people will be chased from their home, people will be killed, people will be kidnapped.

Today we are expecting another killing, today we are expecting another kidnapping, today we are expecting people’s properties to be destroyed.”
