Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, the outspoken Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, has revealed that he has been receiving threats from aides and loyalists of President Bola Tinubu over his advocacy against what he describes as the ongoing Christian genocide in parts of Nigeria.

The cleric made the disclosure in a video widely circulating on social media since Friday. According to him, individuals linked to the Presidential Villa warned him to stop speaking out, accusing him of “demarketing” the country through his activism.

“They are threatening and warning me to stop exposing Tinubu’s government at the global level over the ongoing killings of Christians in Nigeria by Fulani terrorists. They say they’re watching my every move from Aso Rock,” Rev. Dachomo said.

He claimed that his efforts to counter government denial—including sharing videos of mass graves—have drawn intimidation, with some officials attempting to silence him. He recalled being directly contacted by someone from Aso Rock:

“Somebody from Aso Rock called me and said, ‘Reverend, stop exposing the government, your own government, your country.’ I said, oh, so I’m now exposing my government while they are watching me right on social media,” he said.

Despite the threats, Rev. Dachomo said he refuses to stay silent, emphasizing that government inaction continues to endanger Christians in Nigeria.

“Then I said, what about me? That same government is exposing us to Fulani killings by refusing to stop Fulani herdsmen from attacking us. Are they not exposing us? Their silence is endangering Christians all over Nigeria,” he stated.

The cleric also condemned public denial of targeted killings of Christians, asserting that silence or dismissal by officials will not stop him from highlighting the issue.

He further rejected claims by Sheikh Ahmad Gumi that Christian communities buried empty caskets in mass graves, calling for international verification and accountability.

“I want all relevant officials, including the Minister of Defense, the SSS, and military leadership, to visit the gravesite to verify the truth. God of vengeance will fight for us. Go to my Facebook, and you will see me crying at the grave,” Rev. Dachomo concluded.
