Dear friends in Christ, greetings from the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi- Benue State, Nigeria.
Once again we bring you updates on killings and displacements of villagers in the diocese of Makurdi and other areas in Benue State. We have attached photos (viewer discretion advised). There are also pictures of destruction of property and food stored by the hapless villagers. There is the deliberate attempt to attack the food sources of the populations so that those not killed by bullets and machetes could be starved to death.
May the Lord give heed to our prayers and come quickly to help us.
