A US-based group, Truth Nigeria, says it warned security agencies before the June 13 Yelwata massacre.
Founder Judd Saul accused President Bola Tinubu’s government of ignoring alerts about planned attacks in Benue State.
Nearly 300 people were killed when armed men stormed Yelwata village in a targeted attack on Christians.
Homes were burnt, families displaced, and survivors described it as a night of terror.
Saul said Truth Nigeria informed authorities weeks before the assault, but no preventive action was taken.
He accused the military of watching as residents were killed less than a kilometre from their post.
According to him, soldiers fired warning shots but never engaged the attackers.
Saul blamed government complacency and claimed the administration hides religious violence from the public.
He said local media operate under tight state control and often repeat official narratives.
Truth Nigeria was formed to expose what Saul calls “the truth behind Christian killings in Nigeria.”
He said incidents of violence in Plateau and Kaduna have gone largely unreported.
The group says it provides verifiable evidence to alert the international community.
Saul added that they issue terror alerts online and notify military and intelligence officials directly.
He claimed the government was warned again a day before the attack when armed groups began mobilising.
Despite repeated alerts, he said, “the government stood by and did nothing.”
Saul vowed that Truth Nigeria will continue to document attacks and demand accountability for the killings.
