US Congressman Raises Alarm Over Insecurity in Benue State, Backs Tiv and Christian Leaders

A US Congressman expressed strong support for Tiv and Christian leaders in Benue State, Nigeria, highlighting concerns of insecurity and alleged genocidal campaigns in the Middle Belt region. The Congressman urged urgent action from both Nigerian and US authorities, commending recent efforts in rescuing kidnapped Catholic schoolchildren.

The visit also involved discussions on enhancing security cooperation and the establishment of a joint task force. This comes amidst heightened tensions following former President Donald Trump's redesignation of Nigeria and concerns over religious freedom violations.
