Nigerian rapper and music executive, Jude Abaga, better known as MI, has expressed deep sorrow over the recent spate of killings in Benue State, offering solidarity with the affected communities and calling for an end to the persistent violence.
Taking to X on Monday, MI wrote, “My heart is heavy. It grieves me deeply to see so much of the Middle Belt bleed. The recent killings in Benue are not just statistics, they are our people, our families, our communities being torn apart.”
He continued, “I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters in Benue. Your pain is my pain. We can’t normalise this cycle of violence that has plagued our land for too long. To those we’ve lost: we will not forget you. To those still standing, we stand with you.”
He also called for a transparent investigation into the attacks and a stronger security presence across vulnerable communities.
