Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, who serves as the regional chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) located in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, has made a startling claim. He asserts that his outspoken condemnation of the ongoing violence against Christians has led to terrorists placing a bounty on his life.
In a candid conversation with journalist Lucky Udu, Rev. Dachomo shared that a source has informed him of a sinister plan. According to this informant, there is a reward promised to anyone who succeeds in taking his life. This revelation underscores the grave danger he faces daily.
“They have put a bounty on my head,” Rev. Dachomo revealed. “They said anyone that kills me first will be rewarded. I’m not afraid of death. I walk past the territory of Muslims and they usually point at me,” he stated, emphasizing his resolve despite the threats looming over him.
Moreover, the cleric has expressed concern over the impact these threats have on his family. He alleges that his children are being unfairly treated when seeking university admissions, particularly in Northern institutions. Rev. Dachomo believes that his vocal opposition to the attacks on Christians has led to discrimination against his family.
“If my children look for admission in the university, when they see the name Ezekiel Dachomo, they will remove it,” he lamented, highlighting the personal toll of his public stance against the violence.
Despite the threats, Rev. Dachomo emphasized that he is not afraid of death and continues his work without personal security, standing firm in his call against the reported genocide of Christians.
The outspoken Plateau-based cleric first came into recognition after calling on international bodies, including US President Donald Trump, to intervene in what he described as a Christian genocide in Nigeria.
He also revealed that he has documented evidence to back up and defend his claims.
