Fulani Islamic militants have unleashed another round of unspeakable violence on the village of Yelewata in Nigeria’s Benue State.
Over the weekend, attackers stormed homes, locked families inside, and set them ablaze — killing over 100 civilians, including women and children.
The attack, which began late Friday and stretched into the early hours of Saturday, left dozens missing and hundreds injured. With no access to medical aid, survivors watched their communities reduced to ash.
Benue is located in Nigeria’s “Middle Belt,” an important where the Muslim North meets the Christian South.
Foreign-funded jihadist groups and radicalized Fulani herdsmen are pushing southward in deadly waves, slaughtering Christian farming communities under the banner of conquest.
The Yelewata massacre is not an isolated event, but rather a systematic campaign of genocide and extermination.
Just days prior, in coordinated assaults across Benue and Plateau States, Fulani jihadists murdered over 130 Christians in cold blood.
Between May 24th and June 2nd, villages like Gwer West, Apa, and Munga Dasso were turned into charnel houses.
Victims were butchered, burned, or executed as militants moved with total impunity.
