Citizens Running from Fulani Herdsmen
The night of Friday, June 13, 2025, will forever remain a dark chapter in the history of Yelewata, a peaceful community in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. Over 200 innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, were brutally murdered in their homes by suspected Fulani militia in what survivors and community leaders have described as a coordinated genocide.
As authorities continue their investigations and search efforts, the following is a compiled partial list of the known victims, organized by family households—names etched in the heart of the community forever.

This list is a painful reminder of the cost of silence and inaction in the face of rising insecurity in Nigeria’s Middle Belt. The Yelewata massacre must not be forgotten.
The Benue people are calling on the Federal Government, the international community, and all human rights institutions to rise to the defense of the oppressed and bring the perpetrators to justice.
