Anagbe has performed the following duties in his priestly career:[1]
In July 2022 Anagbe told Aid to the Church in Need that over 60 Christians had been killed in Benue State in the past two months.[5]
In a speech in the European Parliament in October 2022, Anagbe compared the situation of Christians in his country to "nothing short of a Jihad clothed in many names: terrorism, kidnappings, killer herdsmen, banditry, other militia groups" and called on the international community to abandon what he termed a "conspiracy of silence" on the subject.[6]
