  • Gunmen attacked the town of Yelewata in Benue state, north-central Nigeria, on the night of June 13-14, 2025, killing at least 100 people.
  • The attack is part of escalating violence fueled by clashes between local farmers and mostly Fulani herders disputing land and water access.
  • The overnight raid lasted about two hours during which many houses were burnt and hundreds were injured or went missing as others were locked and burnt inside their homes.
  • Udeme Edet, a police representative, verified the incident and reported that officers exchanged fire with the assailants, while Amnesty International described the killings as part of the nearly daily violence occurring in Benue state.
  • Benue's governor sent a delegation to support victims' families, emphasizing the urgent need for government action to prevent further loss of lives and livelihoods.
