*The Alia Blame Game, Fulani Strategy and the Collapse of Governance in Benue
*In Memory of Ijamu Jaha Ochoechi

The gruesome massacre of over a dozen residents in Ankpali Edikwu, Apa Local Government Area of Benue State on Sunday, June 1, 2025, has left in its wake not just corpses but deep political, moral, and legal questions. Among the casualties was late Ijamu Jaha Ochoechi, the General Youth Leader of Edikwu Community—a committed voice for justice and a bulwark against the creeping terror. His loss is personal, communal, and symbolic of the broader ethnic cleansing unfolding under the nose of an allegedly complicit state government.
