South Korea’s Security Chief Calls for No Violence Despite Tensions Over Yoon’s Arrest
South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, made a clear statement on Friday urging that there should be no violence or bloodshed if authorities try to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.
He refused to cooperate with investigators, and last week, a tense standoff occurred between his security forces and law enforcement officers attempting to arrest him.
Yoon’s actions during the attempted martial law declaration have led to insurrection charges.
“I understand the concerns of the public, seeing the government in such conflict and confrontation,” Park said.
“However, there must be no physical clashes or bloodshed in this situation.”
Investigators obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon after the previous seven-day order expired on Monday, aiming to question him over charges related to insurrection.
However, despite this, Yoon’s supporters have rallied around him, even braving freezing temperatures outside the presidential residence to protect him.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
The recent surprise visit to Benue State by President Bola Tinubu has stirred many reactions from the public.
It was reported that some school children who were outside were urged to welcome the president under the rain.
