Bokkos Muslim Community Receive Sallah Donations from Para-Mallam Peace Foundation
In celebration of Sallah, the Gideon and Funmi Para-Mallam Peace Foundation has extended its generosity to the Muslim community in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State. The foundation donated food items, clothing, and cash to support the festivities and promote unity.
Mr. Stephen Kefas, representing the foundation, presented the donations at Anwang Hausawa in Bokkos. “Our esteemed Muslim friends, we rejoice with you and wish your families a peaceful and joyful Sallah. May this period foster unity in our communities and nation. With our kindest regards, we wish you happy and peaceful celebrations on behalf of The Revd Dr. Gideon & Prof Funmi Para-Mallam,” said Kefas.
Receiving the items, Alhaji Audu Idi Balarabe, the Sarkin Hausawa Bokkos, expressed his joy and commended the foundation’s efforts. “Such gestures promote peace and unity among different communities. I urge other groups to emulate these initiatives to build cohesion,” Balarabe said. He also lamented the ongoing conflict in the Bokkos community, which has resulted in loss of lives and livelihoods, and prayed for the return of peace and harmony.
Haruna Adamu Hassan, a youth leader from Tangur Tu Mayeti Allah, also called for increased efforts towards restoring lasting peace in the community.
Bishop Dr. Ayuba Matawal, chairman of the Bokkos IDP Welfare Committee, praised the foundation’s continuous support. “Efforts like this show that someone cares. The Para-Mallam Peace Foundation has done more than enough and is one of the leading contributors to relief efforts. Bringing this gesture to the community is commendable and will go a long way in providing comfort and preventing potential conflicts,” said Matawal.
The foundation’s initiative during the Sallah celebrations underscores its commitment to fostering peace and unity in Plateau State.

President Donald Trump on Saturday posted footage of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Plateau State, conducting a mass burial for victims of a terrorist attack, while calling on the United Nations and the United States to stop the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Mr Trump posted the video on Truth Social without adding any text.
In the video, Mr Dachomo, a cleric known for speaking out against alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria, is seen lamenting as he buries his church members killed in attacks in a mass grave.
“Look at it today. Is there any Muslim here?” Mr Dachomo said, pointing to scores of corpses piled in a mass grave as he conducted the mass burial.
Calling on the international community to stop the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria, Mr Dachomo said: “United Nations, I know you are watching me. American Senate, I know you are watching what I am doing here. Please tell Trump to save our lives in Nigeria. They are killing Christians in Nigeria. They are massacring Christians.”
Mr Trump’s posting of the video comes a day after U.S. and Nigerian forces eliminated ISIS second-in-command Abu-Bilal al-Manuki and his fighters in an airstrike.
The government of Mr Trump had said that the execution of Mr Al-Manuki and his foot soldiers on Nigerian soil was a reminder that American forces will go after enemies of the country and those killing Christians around the world.
“So, for months, we hunted this top ISIS leader in Nigeria who was killing Christians, and we killed him — and his entire posse,” U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on X, praising American and Nigerian forces for the successful operation.
He added, “Operations like last night’s demonstrate the exceptional lethality, patience and skill of U.S. forces, amplified alongside willing and capable partners, to address shared threats. This should serve as a reminder that we will hunt down those who wish to harm Americans or innocent Christians, wherever they are.”
The killing of Mr Al-Manuki comes five months after Mr Trump ordered airstrikes against terrorists in their enclave in Sokoto State on December 25, 2025, following a months-long campaign over alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria.
Though the Nigerian government has repeatedly denied allegations of a Christian genocide in the country, it confirmed that it collaborated with U.S. forces to eliminate Mr Al-Manuki.
Mr Trump had also redesignated Nigeria as a country of particular concern last year, warning of continued military action against terrorists in Africa’s most populous country.
