Nigerian prosecutors filed 57 terrorism-related charges today against nine men accused of carrying out a deadly attackon Yelwata community in Nigeria’s central Benue state in June 2025 that killed about 150 people.
Benue sits in Nigeria’s volatile Middle Belt, the fault line between the Muslim north and Christian south. The charges, filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, say the defendants held planning meetings, raised funds, procured weapons, and mobilized fighters across several states ahead of the June 13 attack, one of the deadliest rural assaults in years.
