Bishop Winfred Anagbe of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Makurdi, Benue, Nigeria, testified in writing about the genocide in his diocese.

"Schools, clinics, churches and markets were all destroyed in some areas," he said. "In 2014, after I became bishop, I lost territory to Islamic militants posing as herdsmen, and 14 dioceses had to be closed because of threats."
