BEROM DIASPORA COALITION DROPS HORROR REPORT: 10,000+ Berom killed, 151 Villages displaced by radical Armed Fulani Herdsmen!

JOS – EXCLUSIVE
The Berom nation is bleeding out in broad daylight — and the Nigerian state, according to the Berom Diaspora Coalition, is not merely watching but “shielding those who spill our blood.”
In a scorching World Press Conference held in Jos on November 12, 2025, the Berom Diaspora Coalition (BDC) — joined by BECO, BYM, BEWDA, and the Berom Elders Council — delivered what may be the most damning genocide report issued in Nigeria’s recent history. The coalition accused the Nigerian government of allowing “prolonged genocide, calculated land-grabbing, and jihadist expansionism” to flourish against the Berom and other indigenous peoples in Plateau State.
BDC did not mince words:
“This is not farmer-herder clashes. This is not communal conflict. This is genocide — slow, deliberate, and state-enabled.”
THE STATISTICS OF HORROR
From 2001 to 2025, over 10,000 Berom men, women, and children have been slaughtered.
151 ancestral communities have been erased, emptied, occupied, or renamed by armed Fulani militias.
BDC’s statement was brutal in its clarity:
“Since 2001, our people have been hunted like animals. Over 10,000 Berom have been killed. 151 villages have been wiped out. Farmlands have been seized, homes burned, and our ancestral territories turned into Fulani war trophies.”
The coalition listed communities like Fan, Nding, Jol, Werre, Shonong, Fass, Rankum, and Nding as locations repeatedly attacked, overrun, and in some cases permanently occupied.
Rankum — once a proud Berom settlement — now brazenly bears a new imposed name: “Mahanga.”
Werre — now rechristened “Lugere.”
Villages turned to ashes. Identities erased.
The coalition added:
“The goal is simple — erase the Berom from the map and rewrite history with our blood.”
A 24-YEAR CAMPAIGN OF SLAUGHTER
Villagers murdered in their sleep.
Women butchered.
Children hacked down as they ran.
Fields burned to sterile blackness.
Churches turned into charred tombs.
Entire communities driven into the wilderness like refugees in their own ancestral homeland.
BDC declared:
“10,000 corpses. 151 ghost towns. Zero justice. Nigeria has failed us in every moral and constitutional duty.”
THE GOVERNMENT’S ROLE: SILENCE, AMNESTY & COLLABORATION
The coalition accused successive Nigerian administrations — federal and state — of “systematic negligence, intentional silence, and criminal collusion.”
BDC stated:
“Show us another country where terrorists massacre citizens and get state protection. Nigeria negotiates with killers, funds their camps, and releases arrested gunmen. The state has chosen the side of our exterminators.”
According to the coalition:
Arrested attackers are often released.
Military response is slow or entirely absent.
Intelligence warnings are ignored.
Victims are blamed while perpetrators are rewarded.
THREE HEROES MARKED FOR DEATH
The press conference revealed chilling intelligence: Fulani hit squads from Nasarawa have stormed Plateau with one mission — assassinate three men:
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo – COCIN cleric
Masara Kim – journalist and human-rights investigator
Barr. Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri – National President, BYM
BDC warned:
“These men are targeted for exposing genocide. If anything happens to them, Nigeria will witness a crisis it cannot contain.”
FULANI TERROR ENCLAVES: FLAGS FLYING ON BEROM SOIL
The coalition listed strategic terror bases now fully operational on Plateau soil:
Mahanga (formerly Rankum) – Riyom
Lugere (formerly Werre) – Barkin Ladi
Jong – Ropp District
Tahei hinterlands – Jos South
Dajin-Gwomna & Josho – Bokkos
BDC warns these are not mere settlements:
“These are forward-operating bases for the next phase of extermination. They are armed, fortified, and expanding.”
BDC’S DEMANDS TO NIGERIA & THE WORLD
The coalition issued an ultimatum to the Nigerian government and international bodies:
- Declare Fulani militant groups as terrorists immediately.
- Launch a full-scale military operation to reclaim all 151 occupied Berom villages.
- Release the ₦10 billion compensation fund promised by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
- Return all seized ancestral lands — without negotiation.
- Prosecute the sponsors hiding in government.
- Implement community-based policing and early-warning systems.
- UN/AU/ECOWAS intervention before Plateau becomes another Rwanda.
The coalition concluded with a chilling line:
“If the world waits longer, it will be too late for the Berom people.”
EDITORIAL VOICE

I do not write this as a journalist alone. I write this as a son of the soil — a witness to the graves multiplying across Plateau.
My people are being erased.
Our villages renamed.
Our children buried before they learn to walk.
For 24 years, Nigeria has given silence where justice is demanded and bullets where truth is spoken.
10,000+ Berom graves cry for justice.
151 villages cry for restoration.
And heaven itself cries against Nigeria’s complicity.
We are done being polite.
We are done appealing to deaf leaders.
We are done watching killers celebrated as “peace partners.”
Let it be recorded:
When the Berom nation stood at the edge of extinction,
we did not whisper — we ROARED.
To the world:
Open your eyes.
To the Nigerian government:
Your amnesty for killers expires now.
To every Berom alive:
Silence is death. Speak now or be spoken for by history.
We will not disappear.
We will not surrender our land.
We will not go quietly into extinction.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not ever.
Justice for the Berom 10,000+.
Reclaim the 151 villages.
Or watch the fire spread.
