Moses Simon, Super Eagles forward, has encouraged Nigerians to unite against violence after armed men attacked residents of a village in Benue State.
According to reports, more than 200 persons were ruthlessly massacred in a terrible midnight attack in Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, last Friday.
The attack killed largely internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were seeking refuge at a local Catholic mission.
As a result, Benue residents protested against the killings over the weekend, while social media platforms were flooded with awareness of the gruesome events happening in the Middle Belt of Nigeria.
Reacting, Simon, in a post on his X account on Monday also sympathized with the victims and families affected by the tragic Benue killings.
The Nantes star wrote, “My heart goes out to the victims and families affected by the tragic Benue killings.
“We must stand together against violence and demand justice.”
