Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, known as 2Baba, condemns ongoing violence in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State and calls for urgent, coordinated action to stop further attacks. Across reports, the attacks are described as being carried out by armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, with residents killed in a series of incidents beginning in early 2026. 2Baba delivers the message while visiting Otukpo-Nobi, a community in Otukpo where assailants launched an attack on July 12, 2026, killing at least 10 people and injuring others, according to one of the accounts.
During the visit, 2Baba expresses concern that the killings have become too frequent and says authorities and community stakeholders should begin concrete planning rather than relying on one-off responses. He urges that collective action is needed to tackle the attacks, while also commiserating with residents affected by the violence. The reports converge on his call for stakeholders to unite to find lasting solutions and prevent further loss of lives.
