Nigeria: No Evidence Nigerian President Bola Tinubu Is 'Flooding' His Country With Chadian Herders to Rig 2027 Elections
BENUE STATE, NIGERIA, JUN 18 – The Tor Tiv V calls the violence a deliberate campaign by armed herders, with over 500 deaths in 2025, urging decisive military action to halt the escalating crisis.
- President Bola Tinubu visited Benue State on Wednesday following a mass attack in Yelwata community that killed over 200 people.
- The visit occurred amid claims of a genocidal land grabbing campaign by armed herders and bandits targeting indigenous populations.
- Tor Tiv Prof. James Ayatse told Tinubu the violence is not a herders-farmers dispute but a deliberate attempt to displace communities and seize land.
- Claims that Tinubu invited over 4 million Chadian herders to rig elections and that 300 herders were killed at the border lack evidence or official confirmation.
- The region demands decisive action to restore peace, as insecurity has caused mass displacement, economic decline, and weakened trust in federal authorities.
