Evidence Of Christian Genocide Going On In Nigeria BY CHARLES OGBU (PHOTOS) by greatiyk4u(op):
This is Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi.

On February 14th, 2024, Bishop Anagbe appeared before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, testifying about the genocidal persecution of Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, particularly Benue State. He was invited again on March 12, 2025 during which the good Bishop, accompanied by reverend father Remigius Ihyula, detailed systematic massacres by ethnic Fulani jihadists against Christian farming communities, including kidnappings, church burnings, and land seizures.

According to the clergy, the number of Christians documented to have been killed by the Fulani Jihadists is over 1000 within months with over 160 Churches destroyed In the past decade and large swaths of land belonging to the Christian victims seized and currently occupied by the jihadists with no commensurate action from the govt. Bishop Anagbe told the US parliamentarians that the Nigerian govt is engaging in a “conspiracy of silence” aimed at enabling an “Islamic agenda” to Islamize the region.   
 
After Testimony, Bishop Anagbe and Father Ihyula received multiple death threats allegedly from Nigerian government sources and Islamist groups.

In April 2025, foreign embassies (including the U.S.) warned of potential arrest upon his return to Nigeria.      The Nigerian Foreign Ministry denied involvement
but promised investigations.

On May 24–26, 2025: Fulani Jihadists attacked Bishop Anagbe’s home village - Aondona - killing not less than 42 people (some sources placed the casualty figure at over 70) and displacing hundreds. This was described by many as reprisal for his testimony at the US Congress
      
On June 1–13, 2025, further coordinated attacks by ethnic Fulani Jihadists in Gwer West and Apa counties including Yelwata (near Makurdi) left over 300 men, women and children butchered with most of the victims burnt alive. This was even as the communities alerted the security agencies of the impending attacks weeks before it happened. Many of you would remember that the Bola Tinubu govt and her agents actually tried to play down the Yelwata massacre until activist Verydarkblackman went to the venue to bring the gory images of the victims to social media.

During the last Lent/Holy Week, over 92 Christians were massacred in the same Benue.

Please note that the govt headed by a muslim president and a muslim vice president has not prosecuted any known Fulani jihadist for any of these genocidal attacks. Most shocking is the fact that after similar attacks in Jos which left over 271 Christians dead, the leader of the Fulani jihadists called a Press Conference where he was shown in a video shared by Tvcnewsng, a television station owned by the president, giving conditions that must be met before they stop killing innocent people. One of the conditions he gave was the removal of a senior military commander in charge of keeping peace in Plateau. (I will share the video in the comment section ) As I type, that particular commander is no longer in his position. Your govt yielded to the demand of the jihadist.

I challenge anyone to fact-check everything I have written here.

THERE IS CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE GOING ON IN NIGERIA and the govt is complicit. The whataboutism of some Muslims being affected does not vitiate this fact because even those muslim victims were killed by fellow Muslims and there is no record of a predominantly Muslim community being targeted the way it has been happening in southern kaduna, Benue and other parts of the Middle Belt

Attention must also be beamed on the Gulf States in Arabia that seem to have run out of ideas on what to do with their surplus oil money other than to cause chaos everywhere, especially in Africa.

They are the primary sponsors of all sorts of violent projects that intend to put Muslim on top of different political positions in Africa. Whether in Sudan, in Ethiopia, in Libya, in Tanzania, in Congo, they are there, viciously pouring in weapons to help their "Muslim brothers" dominate politics and commerce..

In all, they want African minerals for cheap. These are the same Gulf Arabs whose fathers led the most vicious slave raids across Africa that emptied villages in the continent. They never paid for that. And they are back with their amorphous religious grunts. If the continent do not stop these tiny Arab States from meddling in African affairs, wars will not end here.

Evidence clear, e choke everyone
Fulani bandit's having access to Nigeria weapon's and using it on defenseless Christians comprising of Farmer's, Traders, Parents/Students alike.

The mass killings/burial going on almost everyday within parts of Benue State and other MiddleBelt part of Nigeria is a case study to work on.

Nigeria no only jagajaga, somebody should help me and complete Trump's statement, Nigeria is........

Only terrorists and their sympathizers will say otherwise. If you don't live in the north as a Christian then you have no moral or factual justification to say there no *systematic* genocide of Christians.
Some of us know what we face daily. Even video footages of Islamic clerics in mosques encouraging their followers to kill non Muslims.
Even governors like former governor Elrufai made statements captured on record on how his govt ....
There's so much to type but it only gets me angrier.

Those who deny it are mostly Tinubu’s/APC supporters. They are against any actions geared towards ending the evil in the land.

Muslims are also victims of this genocide. That has conveniently been swept under the carpet.

They would gladly embrace American intervention.

Northern pastors know that Christian genocide is in the north.

All these southern loudspeakers trying to deny Christian genocide should shut up.

This is a testimony from a Nigerian bishop, not a foreigner.

If he is saying Fulani jihadists are killing Christians, is that not a good thing for the US to hear?

Why are you people afraid of the truth?
