“I met dozens of Christians driven from their homes and subjected to horrific violence. Their stories will stay with me for the rest of my life,” Moore wrote.
Through posts shared on his official X handle, Moore detailed multiple incidents of extreme brutality including one woman who was forced to watch as attackers killed her husband and their five children before she escaped with her unborn baby.
He also narrated the story of another woman whose family was murdered, after which assailants “ripped her baby from her womb.”
Another man, Moore recounted, lost his entire family and survived with a permanently damaged arm after being attacked with a machete.
Moore called the situation a “genocidal pattern of attacks” targeted at rural Christian communities in the Middle Belt region.
“These Christians should be able to live in their ancestral homeland without fear,” he wrote, warning that the scale of displacement in Benue reflects a deepening humanitarian crisis.
He urged the international community to pay closer attention and push for protection of vulnerable communities and long-term sutions to the violence.
