A Nigerian cleric, Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, has declared his full support for United States intervention in what he described as the ongoing “Christian genocide” in Northern Nigeria.
In an interview with News Central TV, Rev. Dachomo accused Bola Tinubu’s administration and government officials of complicity in the killings.
He alleged that members of the Boko Haram insurgent group who claimed to have repented were being absorbed into Nigeria’s security agencies.
“The repentant Boko Haram members have been recruited into the Nigerian Army, Air Force, and Police. That’s why Christians must have a say in politics,” he said.
Challenging claims that Muslims are also being targeted, he stated, “When they came shouting Allahu Akbar, they beheaded a Christian and licked the blood.
“Muslims are claiming that they are killed, that we also kill them. Ask them where we kill them?” Look at the recent killings, look at this child that was killed, and you are saying it is not a genocide.”
Rev. Dachomo expressed confidence in his sources and reaffirmed his support for international action, saying, “I have insiders who give me information.
“I’m over 100% in support of President Donald Trump’s intervention because the Nigerian government’s hands are tied.”
He also vowed to take the Nigerian government to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the alleged killings, adding, “The world needs to know that what we are saying is not false.
“I will go to any length to prove that this government is lying. We are also planning to take Nigeria before the ICC and sue the Miyetti Allah association for their role in these atrocities.”
Rev. Dachomo, the regional chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, made similar claims in a post on his social media platform.
“Hundreds of lives have been lost in attacks on Plateau villages that were never documented, and many victims remain unaccounted for,” he said.
He recounted a 2010 attack on Dogo Nahawa, a Christian-majority community in Jos South, where over 500 people were killed in a single night.
He said repeated attacks on his own village have killed more than 50 people, including family members and friends, and cited an incident where his best friend’s wife and five children were burned alive.
“Since the Federal Government claimed there was no genocide, that statement has pushed me to intensify this work. CAN is also denying the genocide, so I’m determined to prove them wrong,” he added.
Rev. Dachomo said he is currently documenting cases of Christian genocide across affected villages. “Many of the affected villages were never recorded, even though there are graves.
“I have been moving from one grave site to another. In Jaruwa, worshippers were burnt alive during a church service. None survived because the terrorists surrounded the building, set it on fire with gas lamps, and trapped everyone inside.”
He plans to cover other areas where attacks on Christians have been reported, including Wurekum, Doruwa, Mangu, and Bokkos, and compile all incidents into a report to present to the international community.
“I’ll compile all these incidents into a report and present it to the world to show that genocide is happening in Nigeria,” he concluded.
