Paul Adefarasin, senior pastor of House on the Rock Church, has vehemently denounced the recent tragedy in Benue State, calling the murders “heartbreaking” and “unacceptable.”
On June 13, a horrific attack on Yelewata village in Guma Local Government Area is said to have murdered over 200 people.
Paul Adefarasin has joined the rising chorus of people who are denouncing the recent mass murders that have occurred in Benue State.
“There’s a grief that lingers when lives are taken so senselessly. What happened in Yelewata village, Guma LGA, Benue State on the night of June 13th is both tragic and devastating. Families were locked in their homes and burnt alive.
“Children woke up to silence. Mothers are still searching for sons. At least 100 Nigerians were killed. Dozens are missing. And many are suffering without access to medical care.
“This is not who we are meant to be. A nation that shrugs at such injustice risks being consumed by it. To the people of Benue, your pain matters.
“Your lives matter. We pray for healing, for restoration, and for deep, true justice, not in mere words, but in palpable action. And to our leaders, our custodians, and our conscience as a people: this is not the time to look away. When one part of our nation bleeds, the whole must feel it. Enough is enough,” Adefarasin stated.
