 PROTEST ROCKS GBOKO AS CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY DECRIES KILLINGS BY ARMED HERDSMEN IN BENUE


5th July, 2025     


The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, on Friday led a massive protest in Gboko, the heart of Tiv land, to denounce the continued killings of residents in Benue State by suspected armed Fulani herdsmen.

Many were visibly emotional, expressing sorrow and frustration over the government’s perceived failure to halt the attacks.


The protesters condemned what they described as the systematic targeting of innocent villagers, including women and children by armed groups who invade communities under the guise of cattle grazing.


Chants demanding justice and government intervention echoed through the town, as CAN officials called on authorities at all levels to rise to their constitutional duty of protecting lives.


The Gboko protest comes just hours after another outcry in Agan, a Makurdi suburb, where women blocked the Makurdi–Lafia highway over similar grievances.
