Popular Plateau State clergyman
Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, has claimed that Fulani herdsmen are plotting to eliminate him and his family members.
Rev. Dachomo who is the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) regional chairman based in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in Plateau State said he has received a threatening letter from Fulani herdsmen.
“A few days ago, Fulani herdsmen sent a threatening letter to me and to members of my church. The letter was written in both Hausa and English, and its message was terrifying.
“They vowed to attack me and kill me soon, just as they killed nine of my relatives. Copies of these threatening letters have already been handed over to the security operatives,” Dachomo said in a video posted on his X social media platform.
Dachomo said he remains unafraid, placing his life in God’s hands, in faces death threats.
“Many people have asked me if I am afraid. My answer is no. I am not afraid because my life is in the hands of Almighty God.
“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do unto me?”
He added that he was being targeted for speaking out against the killing of Christians in Plateau.
“I know what it means to bury those I love. I know what it means to wipe the tears of children who watched their parents murdered. I know what it means to stand before grieving families whose only crime was refusing to deny Jesus Christ,” he said.
“Now they say I will be next. But I ask the world, what is my crime? Is my crime that I speak for widows who have no voice? Is my crime that I cry for orphaned children whose parents were murdered? Is my crime that I tell the stories of persecuted Christians in Nigeria so the world will not forget them?”
“If that is my crime, then I will continue until my last breath.”
“If one day my voice is silenced, let the world remember that I never carried a weapon. My only weapon was the truth. My only mission was to defend the persecuted.”
