Benue's Catholic Farming Towns under Siege
The Catholic farming town of Aye-Twar in Katsina-Ala County, Benue State, has been reduced to ruins after months of assaults by Fulani armed militias.
According to Kwazan Samuel, a 45-year-old farmer, the nightmare began in March 2025, when gunmen invaded their farms.
“They came to destroy our farms and take our land,”he said.
The town, once known for its lush farmlands and strong Tiv Catholic community, now lies deserted — a wasteland of ashes and sorrow.
