Death Toll From an Attack by Gunmen in North-Central Nigeria Reaches 150, Survivors Say

  • Gunmen attacked the Yelewata community in Benue State, Nigeria, late on Friday night, killing at least 150 people and burning homes.
  • The attack followed ongoing clashes between mostly Fulani herders and local farmers over land, amid a surge in deadly violence in the region.
  • Militants shouted 'Allahu Akbar,' stormed displaced people's shelters and the market where many victims were sheltering while police repelled them from a church.
  • Father Jonathan called the scene 'truly horrifying' with bodies strewn everywhere, and officials directed security agencies to arrest and prosecute all perpetrators.
  • The massacre caused mass displacement and protests in Makurdi, while President Bola Tinubu condemned it as senseless bloodletting and planned to visit the community.
