The popular comedian and content creator, whose real name is Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, made the appeal in a heartfelt video posted on his Instagram page on Monday.

Speaking with emotion and concern, Sabinus stressed the value of every Nigerian life and warned that the ongoing violence in Benue could quickly spread to other parts of the country if left unchecked.

“Our government and all the relevant security agencies. We are begging you to intervene in the ongoing killings in Benue State. Every life matters.

Please, take urgent action to salvage the situation. We have been hearing of the killings, but it doesn’t make sense. We can be victims, too. Please, government intervene. Go and help the Benue State people. They need urgent help,” he said.

Sabinus’s message has since drawn widespread attention, with fans and followers praising his courage for speaking out on a pressing national issue.

While many entertainers often steer clear of political matters, Sabinus’s statement adds to a growing chorus of public voices demanding accountability and protection for vulnerable communities.

The situation in Benue has been a long-standing source of concern, with recurring attacks linked to herdsmen-farmer clashes and other forms of communal violence. Despite various interventions over the years, peace in the region remains fragile.

Sabinus’s call reflects growing frustration among citizens who believe the government must do more to protect lives and maintain security across all states.
