“Today 7/11/2025 after our Benue Crusade on my way to Abuja airport to fly back to Port-Harcourt I witnessed killings and abduction of some persons in Sarkin Noma community, Nassarawa state Nigeria. They blocked the federal road with the dead bodies and that's what drew our attention. Pls pray for Nigeria.”
