Nigerian actor Adams Kehinde, aka Lege Miamii, has reacted to the recent Benue killings, which allegedly claimed the lives of 200 people.

Recall that between Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14, 2025, unknown gunmen stormed Yelwata in Benue state and some people were burnt to death. The tragedy gained more public attention after controversial online critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, visited the site and shared videos of some of the burnt bodies.

After many Nigerian celebrities spoke about the tragedy, Lege Miamii, who is a known supporter of the President Tinubu administration, took to his social media page to react.

The Nollywood star shared a video on Instagram where he expressed sadness at the massacre in Benue. However, he added that he could not come online to rant like some people had been expecting him to do.

Lege said that he preferred to place calls to people in power to handle the situation, which he did. Also in the video, the movie star reacted to VeryDarkMan visiting the site of the killings in Benue. Lege seemed to mockingly thank the online critic.

Lege Miamii shares Tinubu’s next plan

The Singles Hook-up show host then promised Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will visit Benue soon over the killings in the state. He said:

“I’m here to talk about the Benue killings, I saw the post last night, I was like ‘what is this?’ I was touched. I saw small children, I was like ‘what is this?’ and some people want me to come and be ranting online, no, I won’t do that. I have my phone, I have to call the people I know that can do the needful which I did and they listened. And some people went to Benue to make a video to show people what is happening in Benue, we thank you very much and all Nigerian youths thank you very much. I know Mr President, hopefully on Wednesday will visit Benue, I’m 100% sure, they will do the needful and take more action. For the fact that you’re not happy, I’m not happy. All what happened to the people in Benue will never be our portion. Even right now, I’m in Abuja.”
