Amid the national outcry over the recent massacre in Benue State, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has written an open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, appealing for urgent action on the country’s worsening security crisis and economic hardship.
Over 250 residents of Yelewata community in Benue State were brutally killed during a night raid by suspected herdsmen, an attack that left homes, crops, and hopes in ashes. Survivors recount gunmen surrounding the hamlet, setting homes ablaze, and firing indiscriminately at sleeping victims, destroying a year’s harvest along the way
Addressing the president directly via his Instagram handle on June 16, 2025, Edochie wrote:
His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, @officialasiwajubat Nigerians do not hate you, they hate the situation they find themselves in, which is the hardship & insecurity in the country.
