The real genocide no one dares speak of. If the global left can’t blame the Jews, it’s no news.

The Catholic Diocese of Wukari, Taraba, says 98,000 persons have been displaced, and 217 churches destroyed by lingering attacks in the state.

The diocese disclosed this in a communique issued at the end of its third general assembly on Saturday in Wukari.

The communique, signed by Bishop Mark Nzukwein of the diocese, stated that the displaced persons were particularly scattered around the Donga and Takum Local Government Areas (LGAs).

“From September 2025, there has been a resurgence of attacks by criminals on communities in the southern part of Taraba, especially in Takum, Donga LGAs and the Yangtu Special Development Area.

“These attacks have left scores killed, maimed and injured, with property worth millions of naira and means of livelihood destroyed.

“The records of the diocese show that over 98,000 persons have been displaced, including 16 priests, while 217 churches have been completely destroyed.

“Residences of eight priests have also been destroyed, and more than 100 persons have been reportedly killed,” it stated.

The diocese also decried the rising spate of land grabbing, insisting that the ancestral lands of the displaced have been taken over by criminals.

The statement called on the federal government and the security agencies to be proactive towards tackling the security challenges bedevilling the area.

It further called on the government at all levels to implement measures to enable displaced persons to return to their homes.
