As the people of Benue State demand greater protection from the authorities, Chief Iortyom's experience serves as a wake-up call for all Nigerians to demand greater security and accountability from their leaders. This incident is a stark reminder that insecurity is a reality that affects us all, and it is our collective responsibility to demand a safer and more secure Nigeria for all.
