Benue Massacre: Defence Chief Alleges Military Saboteurs Behind Attack

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has made a shocking revelation—saboteurs within the military may have played a role in the Yelwata massacre, which claimed over 200 lives in Benue State2.

🚨 What Happened?

🔴 On June 14, suspected bandits launched a brutal attack on Yelwata and Daudu communities in Benue State.

🔴 Over 200 people were killed, with homes burned and families displaced.

🔴 General Musa visited the scene, revealing that some military personnel may have leaked vital information to the attackers2.

“This is one killing too many,” Musa stated. “We need to change our strategy, look inward, and see how we can address this. We can’t do it alone without the state; we need everybody to be part of it”.

⚖️ Saboteurs in the Military? A Disturbing Pattern

Musa pointed out that the targeted nature of the killings suggests insider involvement.

💔 “If you see the pattern of killings and slaughtering, it means there is an insider,” he said.

💔 “The killings and burnings were targeted. We need to rebuild trust and work in synergy.”

This revelation has raised serious concerns about security breaches within Nigeria’s armed forces.

🔮 What Happens Next?

⚠️ Will the military identify and remove saboteurs?

⚠️ Will security strategies change to prevent future attacks?

⚠️ Can trust between the military and local communities be restored?

Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu has adjusted his itinerary, prioritizing a visit to Makurdi, Benue State, to address the crisis.

🧠 Final Thoughts—Can Nigeria Stop These Attacks?

The Yelwata massacre is a painful reminder that security threats aren’t just external—they may be coming from within.
