He met with members of the community, offered words of comfort, and used the occasion to demand urgent action from authorities.
Speaking during the visit, 2Baba described the killings as excessive and called on the government to put a concrete plan in place to stop further bloodshed.
He stressed that the situation has gone on for far too long without meaningful intervention.
In the caption accompanying the video he shared on social media, the music legend tied his appeal to a deeply personal sentiment.
"Benue is home. When home hurts, we all feel it. Today is about standing together, listening, and reminding one another that hope is never lost," he wrote.
Benue Under Siege
The visit comes against a backdrop of escalating violence in the state. Just a day before 2Baba shared his post, Fulani herdsmen reportedly attacked the Abaushwa community in the Nzorov council ward of Guma Local Government Area, killing four people and leaving several others with injuries.
Benue State has long been a flashpoint for farmer-herder conflicts, with communities repeatedly bearing the brunt of deadly raids.
