3. Engage with local communities to foster intelligence gathering and peacebuilding


Solidarity with the Bereaved Families


AIMP stands in solidarity with the families of the victims and the entire Igede community, calling for justice and accountability. We urge the Benue State Commissioner of Police, DSS, and other security agencies to launch a full-scale manhunt for the killers.


Call to Action

We urge all Igede sons and daughters to remain calm, united, and vigilant while AIMP and other stakeholders push for justice using all lawful means.
