"We came not just with words, but with hearts to mourn with those who mourn, to pray with those in pain, and to stand in the gap for healing and hope.

"In the midst of sorrow, we witnessed strength. In the presence of loss, we released love. And in the atmosphere of heaviness, we lifted up prayers that pierced the heavens.

"To every grieving family, you are not alone. To every broken heart, God sees you, and He will heal you."

Yelwata, located in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue state, was among the communities recently hit by suspected herdsmen attacks, which left scores dead and displaced many residents.

CDS links military saboteurs to Benue massacre

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has revealed that insider collaboration is fuelling targeted attacks like the recent Yelwata massacre in Benue state.

CDS Musa raised serious concerns about the presence of saboteurs within the Nigerian military, linking them to the recent massacre in Benue state, where over 200 lives were lost.

Musa spoke after Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, in May 2025, alleged that military men and politicians are conniving with terrorists to threaten national security.
