The Federal Government has announced plans to arraign suspects linked to the recent killings in Yelwata, Benue State, as part of efforts to ensure accountability and justice.

The suspects, who were arrested following investigations into the violence in the community, are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, February 2, before Justice Joyce Abdul-Malik of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The arraignment follows what the government described as a painstaking investigation carried out through collaboration among relevant government agencies, leading to the identification and arrest of individuals strongly connected to the killings.

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice said the move is aimed at sending a strong signal to those threatening national security, regardless of the guise under which they operate.

The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to the protection of lives and property across the country, noting that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains resolute in upholding constitutional provisions on the safety of all Nigerians.

The announcement was made in a statement issued on Sunday by the Senior Assistant to the President on Communication and Publicity in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
