President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the inter-communal violence between Tiv and Jukun communities in Guma Local Council of Benue State, which left dozens injured and several houses destroyed.

President Buhari, in a statement signed by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, yesterday, expressed his heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Benue State over the losses recorded during the incident and wished them speedy recovery.

The President reaffirmed that his government would not allow any group to incite hatred and violence against others, even as he commended the army, police and other security agencies for promptly bringing the violence to a quick end.

President Buhari charged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts and charge them to court without delay.
