Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, has added his voice to the chorus of condemnation over the recent mass killings in Benue State, calling the incident both deeply distressing and intolerable.

The pastor issued a statement in response to the brutal attack in Yelewata village, located in Guma Local Government Area, where reports indicate that more than 200 people lost their lives. He expressed sorrow over the unnecessary bloodshed and emphasized the urgent need for national reflection and concrete intervention.

“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.

His remarks come as anger and sorrow continue to spread throughout the country in response to the renewed wave of violence in Benue, where entire communities have been left shattered by what many see as systematic and deliberate attacks.
