The recent massacre in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, where over 100 innocent lives were lost, has once again shaken Nigeria to its core. In the midst of grief and mounting outrage, Prophet Isa El-Buba, the fiery and fearless voice of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), is speaking out—loud and clear.
“This Is No Longer a Crisis. It Is Genocide.”
Known for his unwavering boldness and prophetic courage, Prophet El-Buba has condemned the senseless killings, decrying what he describes as a systematic extermination of indigenous communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
“When innocent blood cries out from the ground and the government remains silent, it is no longer failure—it is complicity,” El-Buba has said in the past, and his words ring even louder in the aftermath of the Yelewata slaughter.
Though official statements from the Prophet on this particular attack are still unfolding, his historical stance is consistent—he has never kept quiet when the blood of Nigerians is spilled.
A Call for Action: “Mobilize or Be Wiped Out”
Prophet El-Buba, who is also the convener of the Initiative for a Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN), has long warned that if the federal government fails to protect lives, Nigerians have the moral right to defend themselves.
In past responses to similar massacres in Plateau and Southern Kaduna, he declared:
“We will not fold our hands and watch our people slaughtered like animals. If the government fails us, we will rise to protect our land.”
His message is not one of violence but of community defense, local empowerment, and righteous resistance.
The Solution: Local Security, Not Lip Service
Prophet El-Buba has repeatedly advocated for the creation of state police—not just as a political issue, but as a survival necessity. In the wake of these killings, this call takes on new urgency.
“We cannot rely on distant commanders to protect villages under siege. Let communities guard their own with dignity and lawful strength.”
His vision is clear: decentralized security, rooted in local knowledge, backed by justice, and led by morally upright leaders.
A Spiritual Wake-Up Call
But beyond the politics, Prophet El-Buba’s message is deeply spiritual. He often frames these atrocities as both a physical and spiritual war, one that demands not only defense, but national repentance.
“Our land mourns because we have allowed wickedness to thrive unchecked. Nigeria must turn back to God.”
From citywide prayer walks to fasting campaigns, he believes that true healing will only come when both the sword of justice and the staff of faith rise together.
Benue: A Nation’s Broken Heart
What happened in Yelewata is not just a Benue tragedy—it is a Nigerian wound. Prophet El-Buba’s voice reminds us that silence is not neutrality, and inaction is not peace.
As the country mourns, he continues to shine the spotlight on injustice, refusing to let the memory of the dead fade into forgotten headlines.
Final Thoughts: The Time to Speak Is Now
Prophet El-Buba has never been one to mince words or stand on the sidelines. His challenge to the nation—and especially to its leaders—is this:
“When will you value Nigerian lives over political alliances? When will you choose righteousness over convenience?”
Until then, he promises to keep speaking, keep praying, and keep fighting—because in his words, “a nation that forgets its people is already lost.”
