Nigerian singer, rapper, and record executive Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known by his stage name Terry G, has addressed a video of Governor Hyacinth Alia dismissing the claims of religious genocide in Benue state.

Legit.ng reported that Alia insisted that while insecurity persists, it does not meet the international definition of "genocide."

The governor, a Catholic priest turned politician, made this statement during a consultative forum on the protection of the rights of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Forcibly Displaced Persons (FDPs) organised by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Abuja.

In response, Terry G, a native of Benue, questioned why the governor was lying, saying, "Una go just dey cap rubbish."

He further stated,

"Reverend, for that matter, why una too dey lie? Why can't you guys admit, for once, and apply correction? There is nothing like Christian genocide in Benue, so that means you are not hearing all the news that is going on. What kind of governor is that one now? Una go just dey cap rubbish."

In a caption accompanying the video, Terry G added,

"We refuse to be quieted. The Christian community in Benue is under attack — no amount of denial can hide that reality."

Terry G's video comes amid the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria, with international rapper Nicki Minaj lending her voice at a recent UN event.
