Nigerian singer, rapper, and record executive Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has publicly called out Governor Hyacinth Alia for denying claims of religious genocide in Benue State.

The governor, who is also a Catholic priest, stated that although insecurity exists, the situation does not meet the international definition of “genocide.”

Governor Alia’s Position on Benue Crisis

During a consultative forum organised by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Abuja, Governor Alia emphasized that while violence and displacement are real challenges, the incidents in Benue cannot be classified as religious genocide.

His comments sparked widespread reactions online.

Terry G Calls Out the Governor

In response, Terry G, a native of Benue, expressed shock and disappointment in a viral video.

He challenged the governor’s statement, questioning why the governor would “lie.”

He stated: “Una go just dey cap rubbish. Reverend, for that matter, why una too dey lie? Why can’t you guys admit, for once, and apply correction? There is nothing like Christian genocide in Benue, so that means you are not hearing all the news that is going on. What kind of governor is that one now? Una go just dey cap rubbish.”

Singer Stresses Reality on the Ground

Accompanying the video, Terry G wrote:

“We refuse to be quieted. The Christian community in Benue is under attack — no amount of denial can hide that reality.”

The controversy comes amid growing concerns over the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

International figures, including rapper Nicki Minaj, have recently spoken about the issue at global events, drawing international attention to the situation.
