The recent mass killings in Bassa and Bokkos Local Government Areas of Plateau State, where 104 innocent people were slaughtered by armed Fulani herdsmen, have once again exposed the brutal and unrelenting violence engulfing Nigeria’s Middle Belt. These are not random attacks they are part of a calculated and ideological campaign to wipe out indigenous populations.

What people are failing to realize is that what is going on in the Middle Belt of Nigeria is a systemic genocide being perpetrated by Fulani militias a coordinated campaign of violence that has been ongoing for years, targeting indigenous communities. The ultimate goal is to exterminate minority tribes and take over their ancestral lands, fulfilling a long-standing expansionist agenda rooted in the 19th-century jihad led by Uthman Dan Fodio, who promised Fulani domination across the region. The following are documented massacres in Plateau State, attributed to Fulani armed groups:

The persistent and targeted massacres in Plateau State, especially the most recent killings in Bassa and Bokkos, make it painfully clear that Nigeria is witnessing a silent but systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing. These are not mere “clashes” or isolated incidents they are part of an organized, ideologically driven effort by Fulani militias to displace indigenous communities, exterminate minority tribes, and assert control over ancestral lands in accordance with a historical expansionist vision that traces back to Uthman Dan Fodio’s jihad.

Despite years of bloodshed, mass displacement, and trauma, the Nigerian state has largely failed to halt the violence or bring the perpetrators to justice. This failure is not just a dereliction of duty it is complicity. Silence in the face of genocide is a form of approval.

The world must recognize what is happening in Nigeria’s Middle Belt for what it is: a genocide unfolding in slow motion. Until there is national reckoning, genuine justice, and a decisive break from the politics of ethnic domination, the killings will continue, and Nigeria’s unity will remain a fragile illusion.
