On January 6, 2025, a Facebook post from the page “BENUE info-pedia” highlighted a disturbing viral video that has been circulating on social media, allegedly featuring two young girls from Benue State involved in prostitution-related activities. The post, captioned “TWO GIRLS FROM BENUE APPEAR IN VIRAL VIDEO OVER ALLEGED PROSTITUTION,” quickly gained attention, amplifying discussions about the clip’s content and its implications for the community’s reputation.
The accompanying image in the post shows a blurry scene that appears to depict intimate or explicit interactions, with visible elements like wiring, a yellow cylindrical object, and individuals in close proximity, suggesting the video captures compromising situations. While the exact details of the video remain unverified in mainstream reports as of early January 2026, the post has fueled conversations online about the vulnerabilities faced by young women in the region.
Benue State has unfortunately seen recurring issues related to exploitation and trafficking of girls, though no major news outlets have directly linked this specific January video to broader scandals reported later in 2025. Similar incidents in the past, including cases of trafficking to countries like Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana, or local exploitation, have raised alarms about economic pressures pushing vulnerable individuals into dangerous situations. This latest viral clip has reignited calls for greater awareness, protection, and intervention to prevent such alleged exploitations.
The spread of such content raises serious concerns about privacy, consent, and the rapid dissemination of potentially harmful material on social platforms. Community leaders and activists often emphasize the need to address root causes like poverty and lack of opportunities, rather than stigmatizing those involved. As discussions continue, many hope this incident prompts constructive action to safeguard young people in Benue and beyond.
