The former President is in Benue, in solidarity with the governor and people of the state over the incessant killings and attacks by suspected herdsmen.
He was received at the airport by the state Governor Samuel Ortom and other top government officials in the state.
Not less than 158 persons have been reported killed in the sate as a result of sustained herdsmen attacks in the state since the January 11th, an event that led to a mass burial and protest by youths in Makurdi, the state capital.
The former President is expected to visit the mass burial grave site and also meet stakeholders at the government house.
He is also expected to visit the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp located in Agan Toll Gate, where over 34, displaced residents of the state are taking refuge.
