‘Enough Is Enough,’ 2Baba Demands Urgent Action Over Benue Killings
Nigerian music icon 2Baba has once again used his voice to speak out against the escalating violence in his home state of Benue, urging leaders and relevant authorities to take urgent action to address the recurring killings.
In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, the legendary Afro-pop singer declared that “Enough is enough,” expressing deep frustration over the continuous bloodshed and the seeming lack of concrete intervention. Known for his activism and deep ties to Benue State, 2Baba (real name Innocent Idibia) has consistently advocated for peace and justice, but this time, his message carried even more weight.
“How many more lives must be lost before something is done? This is no longer about politics or tribalism — it’s about humanity. We need urgent action now,” he wrote.
The Benue killings, often attributed to clashes between herders and local communities, have resulted in the deaths of hundreds and the displacement of thousands. Despite repeated calls from civil society, religious groups, and affected citizens, the crisis has persisted, with little to no lasting resolution.
2Baba’s statement has resonated with many Nigerians, with fans and fellow celebrities rallying behind his message, calling on the government to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of its citizens.
As one of Nigeria’s most respected voices, 2Baba’s bold stand is not just a cry of despair — it is a demand for accountability and a plea for peace. With the chorus of concern growing louder, the hope remains that real steps will finally be taken to end the cycle of violence in Benue once and for all.
