Massacre in Yelwata, Benue: Over 100 Dead

A horrific massacre in Yelwata village, Benue state, Nigeria, has left over 100 people dead—mostly women and children—with some reports suggesting the death toll could be as high as 200. Survivors describe a brutal, coordinated attack by armed assailants who targeted displaced families, burned buildings, and chanted jihadist slogans. The violence follows years of escalating assaults on predominantly Christian farming communities, which local leaders now call a “genocidal invasion and land-grabbing campaign” rather than simple herder-farmer clashes. Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu, has called for immediate arrests and a stronger security response, but survivors and international watchdogs say much more is needed to protect vulnerable communities. Nigeria remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians, with thousands killed and hundreds of thousands displaced in recent years.
