My heart bleeds over this genocide – Pastor and Actor Jimmy Odukoya reacts to Benue killings
Lead pastor of Fountain of Life Church and Nollywood actor Jimmy Odukoya has added his voice to the increasing outrage regarding the mass killing of over 200 individuals in Yelewata, Guma LGA of Benue State, denouncing it as what it truly is — “genocide.”
In a powerful Instagram post, Odukoya expressed his sorrow over the senseless massacre and described the tragedy as pure evil, not merely another casualty of war.
“My heart bleeds over the genocide happening in Benue. The blood of the innocent cries loud for justice from the earth!”
“Body parts and bones litter the ground and tell a harrowing story of wickedness… Evil that does not discriminate against the old man or the infant child…”
The cleric was direct in his condemnation of the Nigerian government, urging leaders to awaken to their obligations and ensure the protection of citizens from “men who have no regard for the sanctity of human life.” Naija fashion trends
