Nollywood actor, Prince Eke has declared that the growing insecurity across Nigeria, especially in Benue State, may be connected to a global push for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Africa.
Naija News reports that in a post on his Instagram page, the actor said that the wave of attacks targeting farmers using traditional seeds is not random.
According to him, the violence, land grabs, and kidnappings are forcing farmers off their lands, leading to a drop in local food production.
In that vacuum, foreign corporations are stepping in with GMO alternatives.
Eke warned that as traditional farming weakens, the country may fall into deeper dependence on imported, patented seeds controlled by global biotech firms.
He wrote: “Over the past decade, Nigeria’s agricultural regions, especially Benue, have faced growing insecurity, mainly targeting farmers. This isn’t just a mere coincidence, It points to a larger agenda possibly linked to the global push for GMOs in Africa. Benue, the “food basket of the nation,” relies on small farmers using indigenous seeds. But constant attacks. herdsmen violence, land grabs, kidnappings are forcing them off their land. As food production falls, foreign corporations step in with GMO “solutions.” With traditional farming under threat, local food systems collapse, and dependence on imported, patented seeds grows. Insecurity is creating space for GMO interests to take over. Am I overthinking?”
