The leader of US delegation on fact-finding of Christian genocide in Nigeria, Riley Moore, has revealed that there are more than 600,000 Christians Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps in Benue state.
Writing on his verified X handle on Wednesday, the US Congressman, who had a one-on-one visit to the IDPs, decried their conditions.
DAILY POST reports that the US delegation visited Bishops and the Tiv traditional ruler recently.
“While in Benue, I met with dozens of Christians who were driven from their homes and subjected to horrific violence and now live in IDP camps.
“They told harrowing stories that will remain with me for the rest of my life. One woman was forced to watch as they killed her husband and five children. She, and her unborn child, barely escaped.
“Another woman’s family was murdered in front of her and her baby was ripped from her womb. One man’s family was hacked to death in front of his eyes and his arm was permanently mangled.
“There are more than 600,000 Christians in IDP camps in Benue State alone.These Christians should be able to live in their ancestral homeland without fear of genocidal Fulani,” Rep Moore said.
