Fulani Jihadists Massacre Over 200 Christians in Overnight Attack in Benue State, Nigeria
(Truth Nigeria) In the early hours of Friday, June 13, 2025, more than 200 Christian villagers were slaughtered by heavily armed Fulani jihadists in Yelwata, a farming community in Guma County, Benue State. This mass killing is part of a disturbing wave of targeted violence that has swept across central Nigeria in recent weeks.
This latest massacre follows a string of coordinated attacks across Benue State:
· May 25 – Aondoana, Gwer-West County
· June 1 – Edikwu-Ankpali, Apa County
· June 12 – Akundu-Tyough, Makurdi, the state capital
The Target: Yelwata, a Christian Stronghold
Yelwata, located just 7 km north of Makurdi, is a 98 percent Christian farming village—97 percent Catholic, 3 percent other denominations. It also serves as a settlement for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who fled earlier Fulani militia attacks in neighboring towns.
Eyewitnesses Describe a Night of Terror
The attack began around 10 p.m. Thursday night. According to witnesses, over 40 gunmen stormed the village on motorcycles in pairs, shouting “Allahu Akbar” as they opened fire on civilians, moving from house to house, setting homes on fire, and killing indiscriminately.
“They came from Rukubi in Doma, Keana, Obi, and other counties in Nasarawa State,” said Mton Matthias, a local youth leader. “They surrounded Yelwata, speaking Hausa and Fufulde, and began slaughtering people—mostly women, children, and displaced families who thought they had found safety here.”
“We’re still finding bodies in the bushes,” he added. “The death toll is rising every hour.”

It couldn’t be more clear, at this point, that this has nothing to do with land or grazing. It’s flat-out genocide.
