In a bombshell revelation that exposes dangerous community collusion with terrorists, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa has disclosed that residents of Yelwata, Benue State actively harbored the perpetrators of last week’s massacre that left over 100 dead – providing them with food, women, and critical intelligence about IDP camp locations before the attack. The Defence Chief made the stunning disclosure during an emergency security briefing at Defence Headquarters, where he revealed that while troops had been deployed based on intelligence about impending attacks, the killers deliberately fed security forces false information about target locations before striking the vulnerable Yelwata IDP camp in a brutal “hit-and-run” assault that caught both civilians and security operatives completely off-guard.
The full shocking details show:
• Community members sheltered the killers for 5 days before the attack
• Local informants provided detailed layouts of the IDP camp’s weakest points
• Attackers were given local women as “comfort” during their stay
• Not a single resident alerted security forces despite clear danger signs
President Tinubu’s Response:
✔ Ordered full military activation to hunt perpetrators
✔ Demanded immediate fortification of Benue’s border regions
✔ Called for community leaders’ summit to address collusion
Why This Changes Everything:
🔹 First official confirmation of community participation in massacres
🔹 Exposes fatal flaws in rural intelligence gathering
🔹 Shows terrorists adapting sophisticated deception tactics
