Grief and fear have gripped communities in Guma county of Benue State following new attacks that left at least four Christians dead
Several women were also abducted and tortured, with one person missing during one of the attacks.
The deadly violence occurred days after an Iowa-based Missionary, and Founder of Equipping the Persecuted, Judd Saul, issued a public terror alert warning of imminent assaults on Christian communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt ahead of Christmas.
The latest Benue attacks reportedly took place along the Yogbo–Udei axis and other flashpoints in Guma, a Benue County bordering Keana and Obi counties of Nasarawa State.
Residents say armed Fulani ethnic militia targeted internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had sought refuge in the area after earlier waves of violence.
According to Tivta Samuel, Guma County Youth Leader in an interview with TruthNigeria said, “On Monday, December 15, 2025, about 20 armed attackers ambushed IDPs who had gone to fetch firewood at Tse-Nyamkume village along the Yogbo–Udei Road. One victim, Kenneth Gbayier, an indigene of Mbalagh who had previously fled his home for safety, was killed. His body was later recovered and buried by relatives”.
Tivta added that, the attackers who were speaking Fulfulde and chanting Allahu Akbar, singled out women for abuse during the raid.
“Some women were captured and tortured before being released, while others remain missing. Fear has forced many families to flee deeper into the bush”, Tivta said.
Tivta also recalled an earlier incident on Saturday, December 13, when another group of Fulani terrorists attacked travellers along Ajimaka Road in Guma, killing two Tiv commuters and a security operative escorting them.
