OTUKPO & MIDDLE BELT MASSACRES: RESTORE NIGERIA FROM REPUBLIC OF BLOODSHED TO LAW & ORDER - Arc. Dr. Peter Agada To Bola Tinubu
OTUKPO & MIDDLE BELT MASSACRES: RESTORE NIGERIA FROM REPUBLIC OF BLOODSHED TO LAW & ORDER - Arc. Dr. Peter Agada To Bola Tinubu
Arc. Dr Peter Agada
"President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration must stop being a government of funeral delegations, ephemeral consolation of genocide victims and empty ceremonial promises of security, and rise to restore Nigeria from being a republic of bloodshed which it is now to one of law, order, peace, opportunity and prosperity.*_
"Mr. President must re-event his administration into a digital age security machine. One that has the cutting-edge capabilities to bring to book culprits and erase all roving militia murderers, killer herdsmen, ransom bandits, bloodthirsty terrorists and their urban networks who aid them in any corner of Nigeria.*_
"Nigeria has more than enough resources to achieve this from what is connived, cornered and stolen in only a few government agencies or parastatals and her annual budgets. What is lacking is the political will, sincerity and transparency of the executors of security policies."
Several reasons constrained me from immediate reaction to the latest episode of cold-blooded, wanton massacre of citizens of Akpachi and Otukpo-Nobi in Otukpo local government area of Benue state.
Following the horrific bloodbath which took place at the dawn of last Sunday, July 12, 2026, it was needful to endure these extra days in order to obtain reliable confirmation and corroboration of casualties, the injured and the internally displaced survivors by official government sources, on-the-ground witnesses, independent first responders and partners of our organisation, The Movement Nigeria, who we despatched to the affected areas.
TMN's painstaking investigation was to enable one have a balanced, objective assessment of the tragedy; the loss of lives suffered and trauma aftermaths of the victims, so that I would convey facts that are accurate in substance and clear in echo to the government of the day, to members of the international community and to global genocide observers who have been constantly in touch with me over the years and since the Sunday dawn massacre on the serial genocidal pogroms against Nigerian citizens of the North Central zone, the Middle Belt states and our country in general.
Subsequent to these measures, I am deeply saddened to inform Nigerians and the international community that contrary to the compressed and minimized casualty figures of 18 which the federal government of Nigeria has shyly admitted, our combined on-the-spot teams and international partners have revealed a far more harrowing tally. This includes more than fifty men, women, infant children and the elderly murdered in cold blood, many severely wounded from sophisticated artillery fire opened on them. As in similar massacres, numerous indigenes have presently fled the affected communities into temporary shelters in surrounding villages after the horrors of seeing their unarmed and defenceless families butchered.
We have also confirmed the excruciating report that among those wiped out by the savage hordes of suspected Fulani militia is a single family of nine who included a two-year old baby.
I and The Movement Nigeria mourn and extend our heartfelt condolences to the survivors and immediate relatives of the dead. We condole with and pray God to grant overcoming strength to the Akpachi and Otukpo-Nobi communities, the Benue and Plateau state frontlines of horrific re-occuring pogroms, and every other part of Nigeria where the blood of innocent Nigerians has continued to be spilled like sludge, while the indelible aftermaths of these raw, heinous crimes are continuously swept under the carpet by government after government without tangible, accountable and adequately deterrent consequences to the perpetuators.
The serial, unabating bloodshed by free roaming, lethally armed, increasingly emboldened ethnic militias responsible for these calculated massacres challenge the security, sovereignty, national stability, peace and progress of all of us as a people and nation under one constitution.
As TMN, our research findings over the years are heart wrenching, to say the least. We bleed and grieve deeply not just because of this latest chapter of bloodbath. Our aggregated sorrow, aggravated by the insincerity, nonchallance and lack of accountability by governments at both federal and state levels, in spite of monumental budgets perennially voted for security, derives from a glaring history of chronic constitutional failure of government to protect the lives of our citizens, their farming occupations and most basic rights to life even at the lowest levels of existence.
For example, some of our studies, which can be verified in the virtual space, show the following. In closely matched studies, the casualty metrics of globally renowned war research organisations, including Mediazona, the Book of Memory Group, the BBC and the US Library of Congress, in under five years between 2016 and 2021 alone, Nigerians who were violently murdered across all gender and age groups were 50,252. These include infants plucked from their mothers' breasts and slaughtered, babies given birth to in terrorists' captivity and fed to the dogs of their captors, octogenarians lined up and shot or burnt alive in their homes, clergy and clerics of both Christian and Muslim faiths, and worshippers rounded up and shot to death right inside churches and mosques by Islamic extremists. These gruesome crimes were committed in 2,288 documented terror attacks and victim executions.
During the same period another 51,425 Nigerians were murdered in violent crimes such as kidnappings for ransom, robbery, rape, police brutality and other forms of extra-judicial killings. When you combine the above casualties of insecurity in Nigeria, the figure of 101,677 comes to 57 Nigerians who are violently killed everyday.
In comparison to the above, Ukraine, which has been in a full-blown war with superpower Russia, involving devastating modern weapons of mass destruction, recorded, between 2022 and August 2025, a casualty figure of only 73,920 soldiers and civilians combined. This comes to 54 casualties per day during the height of its ongoing war. The comparison with Nigeria, a country that is not at war yet suffers a casualty of 57 citizens daily, speaks for itself and demonstrates the glaring extent of security failure by government stratas of our country. That is not where the tragedy ends. It is in the fact that about 70% of that gross national massacre figure continues to occur in the North Central and Middle Belt states of Nigeria alone.
A TMN ongoing study also indicates that like the recent Akpachi and Otukpo-Nobi massacres of few days ago, more Nigerians die daily from violent deaths than the cows that are slaughtered for consumption in some cities of some African countries.
Given the above gory spectre of insecurity which pervades every part of our dear country, I wish to passionately appeal to governments of all tiers. Wake up. Forge the political will to live up to your constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and properties a focal priority of governance.
Make the Otukpo killings of last Sunday the last of its kind in any part of our great country. Go after and bring every single one of the militia responsible for the killings to book.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration must stop being a government of funeral delegations, ephemeral consolation of genocide victims and empty ceremonial promises of security, and rise to restore Nigeria from being a republic of bloodshed which it is now to one of law, order, peace, opportunity and prosperity.
Mr. President must re-event his administration into a digital age security machine. One that has the cutting-edge capabilities to bring to book culprits and erase all roving militia murderers, killer herdsmen, ransom bandits, bloodthirsty terrorists and their urban networks who aid them in any corner of Nigeria.
Nigeria has more than enough resources to achieve this from what is connived, cornered and stolen in only a few government agencies or parastatals and her annual budgets. What is lacking is the political will, sincerity and transparency of the executors of security policies.

ARCHITECT (DR) PETER ADOLE AGADA AT A GLANCE: A MAN DESTINED AND EQUIPPED TO LEAD NIGERIA OUT OF ITS PRESENT ECONOMIC QUAGMIRE
 |
| AGADA |
ARCHITECT (Dr) Peter Agada was born in Enugu, Nigeria on November 17th, 1971
Grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. He attended GRA Pry school Ikeja & Victory College also in Ikeja. Graduated from GSS Northbank Makurdi where he did a year of his final secondary school.
Dr Peter Agada who is currently the Chairman, Cyrus Group Nigeria, graduated from University of Jos Nigeria & Gulf American University.
The former Director of Finance, Obedient Movement & Min of Infrastructure Big Tent Shadow Government is the founder, The Movement Nigeria ( TMN)
The former Presidential Aspirant of the Labour Party (LP ) is the architect of Labourdirect initiative centered on Digital Government & New Nigeria Development Master Plan policy.
At 54 years of age, Dr. Peter Agada stands as a rare fusion of technical brilliance, corporate success, and political foresight. He is not just a candidate; he is a solution-driven leader prepared to navigate Nigeria through its most turbulent economic era.
The YPP Presidential Hopeful is the Architect of National Renewal with over 29 years of cognate experience as an architect specializing in infrastructure and acoustic architecture.
Dr. Agada understands the "bones" of a nation. As the Chairman and CEO of Cyrus Group, he has built one of the world’s largest acoustic organizations, proving that Nigerian leadership can dominate global markets. His expertise earned him an Honorary Doctorate in Acoustic Architecture from Gulf American University in 2025.
Since 2006, Dr. Agada has been serving as the President of the Congress of Professionals, a powerhouse of global and local experts focused on high-level policy design and advocacy. Under his leadership, the Congress has engaged successive governments on critical Infrastructure Master Plans, offering strategic blueprints for national development.
Without Doubt, Nigeria will need Dr Peter Adole Agada in the steering wheels of the nation for progress and modern development oriented leadership.
*WHY NIGERIA NEEDS HIM NOW*
Nigeria’s infrastructure crisis isn’t just lack of money. It’s waste, abandonment, and lack of integration. Arc. Dr. Agada hits all three problems at once:
Nigeria’s Problem and What He Brings
₦3T+ yearly waste from inflated contracts and abandoned projects —Open BOQ + Acoustic expertise: He knows how to read a Bill of Quantities and spot inflated costs. As an architect, he understands that you don’t build without approved drawings and measured quantities.
12,000+ abandoned projects littering the country — Finish-first policy: His Congress of Professionals has been pushing “complete old projects before starting new ones” since 2006. He has the template.
Fragmented planning: Housing, energy, transport all operate in silos — Integrated master planning: http://LABOURDIRECT.COM connects all sectors so roads, housing, energy, and logistics are planned together, not in isolation.
No trust in government spending — Transparency + accountability background: Finance director experience + shadow minister role means he understands public scrutiny and will deliver visible results.
Slow implementation: 2-3 years just for design and approvals — Ready-to-deploy solutions: He already has master plans and policy frameworks. You skip the consulting phase and move straight to execution.
THE 100-DAY VALUE
If you appoint him today:
-Day 30: He can audit and publish the real status of all abandoned FG projects using his BOQ expertise.
Day 60: He can roll out http://LABOURDIRECT.COM as the government’s infrastructure planning dashboard.
Day 100: He can break ground on 2-3 integrated projects that combine housing + energy + transport, because he’s designed them already.
The Architect’s Advantage: Most ministers are politicians. He’s a builder who understands policy. He doesn’t just talk infrastructure. He can draw it, cost it, build it, and defend it.
The Timing Advantage: Nigeria just removed fuel subsidy. People need to see visible infrastructure and housing delivery fast to restore trust. He has the designs and the delivery framework to do it.
In one line: Arc. Dr. Peter Agada is the man who can design the building, write the policy for it, cost it transparently, and deliver it without abandonment.
He is 54yrs old from Ai'odo 2 ward of Ogbadibo LGA , Benue State Nigeria. Married with 8 kids. 3 are adopted from his late Younger brother.

WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE
Unveiling of Arc. Peter Agada Presidential Campaign, Labour Institute, LabourDirect.com & the Peter Agada-TMN Candlelight Vigil for Kidnapped Oyo School Children & Teachers, Bandit Captives in Kwara, Niger State, Borno
Being Press Statement by Arc. Dr. Peter Agada, 2027 Presidential Hopeful & TMN National Support Network, Delivered Today Monday June 8, 2026 in Abuja FCT
Fellow Nigerians,
Representatives of the national executive council of Young Progressives Party (YPP) present,
Representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Civil Society Organizations present,
Officials of The Movement Nigeria (TMN),
Gentlemen of the Press.
On behalf of the various esteemed interest groups with mutually connected political, union based and civil society initiatives captured in the heading of our conference paper, I warmly welcome you to this very important media conference.
To foster proper understanding of the various bodies described above and the meeting point of their objectives, indulge me to explain the core of each subject matter in as brief yet illuminating depth as possible.
1. The Movement Nigeria (TMN):
TMN is a nationwide congress of patriotic Nigerians, civil society groups and peer leaders from every walk of life. Membership of TMN cuts across tribes, religions, professions and the labour unions of Nigeria.
In many ways, therefore, TMN is a mother canopy which warehouses scores of social-political organizations of like-minded Nigerians, home and abroad.
These broad-based groups spread across entire Nigeria believe in me as a man whose time has come to invest his enormous accomplishments, decisive leadership strength, energies and steel of a youthful paragon into the race for the President of Nigeria; a faith that coincides with my own deep inner conviction a long time ago that I have more than what it takes to fix our country and stun the world with the brand new story of a brand new Nigeria. Today, I feel both honoured and challenged by such depth of trust to justify to our country their immense vote of confidence by vying for the highest political office of our land.
2. Departure from Labour Party
In their faith in me, the TMN network worldwide freely contributed millions of naira to back their conviction. When the party leaders approached me to support the enormous financial cost of its national convention, they emphatically made it clear to me that there was no encumbrance to anyone who wished to contest the presidential ticket of the party. After that clarification, the TMN facilitated my picking the presidential expression of interest and nomination forms for the ticket of the Labour Party. I was subsequently screened by the party for the presidential race on May 6, 2026, precisely eight days after its national convention at Umuahia, Abia state.
I need to emphasize that before the convention, combined with seducing persuasions by the Labour Party's national leadership to the effect that they would support me for the party's presidential ticket, I jointly funded the national convention of the party which held as scheduled at Umuahia, Abia state, on April 28, 2026.
I spent considerable funds to commence building my nationwide presidential campaign structures after a successful screening on May 6, 2026, an exercise which affirmed my impeccable qualifications to run for the highest office in Nigeria under the platform of the Labour Party.
All of these expenses went down only for the Labour Party to suddenly wake up from a memory loss on May 28, 2026, only one day to its presidential primary, to send a letter to me stating that they had disqualified me from the presidential ticket because I was from the Middle Belt of Nigeria. They claimed that the presidential ticket of the party had been zoned to the South, which was of course, a brazen cruel lie. Acknowledging this lie, the party's own screening committee report set up after the Umuahia convention affirmed and advised the leadership of the Labour Party that there is no provision in the party's constitution for zoning.
3. The Journey from Labour Party to YPP
I went into this detail for three reasons. First, it is for my large supporters in the Labour Party nationwide and Nigeria at large to understand why I left the party in search of another political party which reflects my beliefs, principles and commitment to truth and justice. Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to inform you that I have now found all these qualities in the Young Progressives Party. I pray that this will continue to be so in our journey together to the future.
The second reason I have taken time to explain my betrayal and exit from the Labour Party under its present leadership, which is evidently steeped in incredible insincerity, tribal myopia and repression, is this: I need to publicly put on record, without leaving the smallest iota of doubts in the minds of the TMN movement nationwide, that I was transparent and blameless in the temporary loss of their hard-earned financial contributions to my nascent presidential project.
The third reason for this detail is that as a justice and good governance advocacy body, the board of trustees and leadership of TMN nationwide has determined to leave no stone unturned in lawful efforts to recover their collectively contributed funds from the Labour Party. To prove my innocence relating to the missing funds before their eyes and sundry funding support stakeholders, I am constrained to cooperate with TMN and to proceed above suspicion by conceding to their lawful right to interrogate the swindled funds in court. To this end, court proceedings bordering on fraud and obtaining under false pretense has been served today at the instance of the TMN on the Labour Party and the party's felony confederates.
For further clarification which you may need on this, I will leave one of the operational leaders of TMN, who is here with us, to take your questions at the appropriate time during the conference.
4. LabourDirect.com
This is a ready-made, cross-sector digital platform which translates labour ideology to tangible development expectations and policy manifestos to manifestation of concrete, people serving social-economic end goals. This will be achieved by integrating policy, budgeting, and infrastructure planning for all 23 sectors of the Nigerian economy on one map, with one set of governing rules.
For brevity of this paper, I will crave your indulgence to elaborate on this during the question and answer interlude.
5. Labour Institute
The proposed Labour Institute of Nigeria is a non-partisan policy, research and leadership development institution to be established by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC). It is conceived to institutionalize the ideologies of the global labour movement within Nigeria's democratic framework.
The Labour Institute shall provide an ideological baseline similar to "The Republican Institute" of the Republican Party and "The Democratic Institute" of the Democratic Party of the United States of America. The vision is currently in the pipeline for discussions with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its sister labour centre, the Trade Union Congress (TUC). When established, it shall be the unions' ideological substation and finishing house for designing and implementing the multi-sector digital platforms, programmes and policy blueprints of the LabourDirect.com policy curriculum.
Similar to the Labour Institute discourse, I will also crave your indulgence to elaborate on this during your question and answer break.
6. Candlelight Vigil for Kidnapped Oyo School Children & Teachers, Other Victims Throughout Nigeria
It is saddening that since May 15, 2026, 46 Nigerians involving tender school children and their teachers, in front of whom one of them was beheaded in horrendous bestiality, including a 19months old baby, little Christiana Akanbi, have been kidnapped by terrorists.
It is sickening that since then to date these innocent Nigerians have been sleeping in the jungle bush under the rains at night and hoping against hope of rescue during no less frightful excruciating hours at day.
It is necessary to rally our nation together to aggregate much more tangible and sustainable efforts to ensure that these innocent young children and their teachers are safely rescued and re-united unhurt to their suffering families. This should be the case, not only for the Oyo saga but for similar victims of abduction in Niger, Kwara, Borno and everywhere else throughout Nigeria against whom terrorists and bandits have continued to perpetuate this extreme level of human rights abuse. This is why TMN is holding this candlelight vigil in Oyo state this Wednesday June 10, 2026.
Finally, I wish to thank the NLC, TUC, YPP, civil society representatives and other well-meaning Nigerians for their partnership in the solidarity vigil for our abducted children and compatriots.
Thank you.
Long live, The Movement Nigeria (TMN). Long live, Young Nigeria Progressives Party (YPP). Long live, Workers and Labour Unions of Nigeria. Long live, the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In many ways, therefore, TMN is a mother canopy which warehouses scores of social-political organizations of like-minded Nigerians, home and abroad.
These broad-based groups spread across entire Nigeria believe in me as a man whose time has come to invest his enormous accomplishments, decisive leadership strength, energies and steel of a youthful paragon into the race for the President of Nigeria; a faith that coincides with my own deep inner conviction a long time ago that I have more than what it takes to fix our country and stun the world with the brand new story of a brand new Nigeria. Today, I feel both honoured and challenged by such depth of trust to justify to our country their immense vote of confidence by vying for the highest political office of our land.
2. Departure from Labour Party
In their faith in me, the TMN network worldwide freely contributed millions of naira to back their conviction. When the party leaders approached me to support the enormous financial cost of its national convention, they emphatically made it clear to me that there was no encumbrance to anyone who wished to contest the presidential ticket of the party. After that clarification, the TMN facilitated my picking the presidential expression of interest and nomination forms for the ticket of the Labour Party. I was subsequently screened by the party for the presidential race on May 6, 2026, precisely eight days after its national convention at Umuahia, Abia state.
I need to emphasize that before the convention, combined with seducing persuasions by the Labour Party's national leadership to the effect that they would support me for the party's presidential ticket, I jointly funded the national convention of the party which held as scheduled at Umuahia, Abia state, on April 28, 2026.
I spent considerable funds to commence building my nationwide presidential campaign structures after a successful screening on May 6, 2026, an exercise which affirmed my impeccable qualifications to run for the highest office in Nigeria under the platform of the Labour Party.
All of these expenses went down only for the Labour Party to suddenly wake up from a memory loss on May 28, 2026, only one day to its presidential primary, to send a letter to me stating that they had disqualified me from the presidential ticket because I was from the Middle Belt of Nigeria. They claimed that the presidential ticket of the party had been zoned to the South, which was of course, a brazen cruel lie. Acknowledging this lie, the party's own screening committee report set up after the Umuahia convention affirmed and advised the leadership of the Labour Party that there is no provision in the party's constitution for zoning.
3. The Journey from Labour Party to YPP
I went into this detail for three reasons. First, it is for my large supporters in the Labour Party nationwide and Nigeria at large to understand why I left the party in search of another political party which reflects my beliefs, principles and commitment to truth and justice. Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to inform you that I have now found all these qualities in the Young Progressives Party. I pray that this will continue to be so in our journey together to the future.
The second reason I have taken time to explain my betrayal and exit from the Labour Party under its present leadership, which is evidently steeped in incredible insincerity, tribal myopia and repression, is this: I need to publicly put on record, without leaving the smallest iota of doubts in the minds of the TMN movement nationwide, that I was transparent and blameless in the temporary loss of their hard-earned financial contributions to my nascent presidential project.
The third reason for this detail is that as a justice and good governance advocacy body, the board of trustees and leadership of TMN nationwide has determined to leave no stone unturned in lawful efforts to recover their collectively contributed funds from the Labour Party. To prove my innocence relating to the missing funds before their eyes and sundry funding support stakeholders, I am constrained to cooperate with TMN and to proceed above suspicion by conceding to their lawful right to interrogate the swindled funds in court. To this end, court proceedings bordering on fraud and obtaining under false pretense has been served today at the instance of the TMN on the Labour Party and the party's felony confederates.
For further clarification which you may need on this, I will leave one of the operational leaders of TMN, who is here with us, to take your questions at the appropriate time during the conference.
4. LabourDirect.com
This is a ready-made, cross-sector digital platform which translates labour ideology to tangible development expectations and policy manifestos to manifestation of concrete, people serving social-economic end goals. This will be achieved by integrating policy, budgeting, and infrastructure planning for all 23 sectors of the Nigerian economy on one map, with one set of governing rules.
For brevity of this paper, I will crave your indulgence to elaborate on this during the question and answer interlude.
5. Labour Institute
The proposed Labour Institute of Nigeria is a non-partisan policy, research and leadership development institution to be established by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC). It is conceived to institutionalize the ideologies of the global labour movement within Nigeria's democratic framework.
The Labour Institute shall provide an ideological baseline similar to "The Republican Institute" of the Republican Party and "The Democratic Institute" of the Democratic Party of the United States of America. The vision is currently in the pipeline for discussions with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its sister labour centre, the Trade Union Congress (TUC). When established, it shall be the unions' ideological substation and finishing house for designing and implementing the multi-sector digital platforms, programmes and policy blueprints of the LabourDirect.com policy curriculum.
Similar to the Labour Institute discourse, I will also crave your indulgence to elaborate on this during your question and answer break.
6. Candlelight Vigil for Kidnapped Oyo School Children & Teachers, Other Victims Throughout Nigeria
It is saddening that since May 15, 2026, 46 Nigerians involving tender school children and their teachers, in front of whom one of them was beheaded in horrendous bestiality, including a 19months old baby, little Christiana Akanbi, have been kidnapped by terrorists.
It is sickening that since then to date these innocent Nigerians have been sleeping in the jungle bush under the rains at night and hoping against hope of rescue during no less frightful excruciating hours at day.
It is necessary to rally our nation together to aggregate much more tangible and sustainable efforts to ensure that these innocent young children and their teachers are safely rescued and re-united unhurt to their suffering families. This should be the case, not only for the Oyo saga but for similar victims of abduction in Niger, Kwara, Borno and everywhere else throughout Nigeria against whom terrorists and bandits have continued to perpetuate this extreme level of human rights abuse. This is why TMN is holding this candlelight vigil in Oyo state this Wednesday June 10, 2026.
Finally, I wish to thank the NLC, TUC, YPP, civil society representatives and other well-meaning Nigerians for their partnership in the solidarity vigil for our abducted children and compatriots.
Thank you.
Long live, The Movement Nigeria (TMN). Long live, Young Nigeria Progressives Party (YPP). Long live, Workers and Labour Unions of Nigeria. Long live, the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
