Employing a survey research method, the study examines how Radio Benue's news commentary disseminates security information, its impact on public awareness and security agency operations, and the challenges faced in this endeavor. Findings reveal that the station uses analysis and commentary, news interpretation, and direct reporting to effectively communicate security information, significantly enhancing public vigilance and supporting security efforts. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, outdated equipment, and insufficient staff training hinder optimal performance. The researchers conclude that radio is an indispensable tool in combating insecurity and recommend increased investment in modern broadcasting infrastructure, professional training, and strategies for consistent, impactful security reporting.
