Despite denials by the Nigerian government that there are no incidents of Christian genocide in the country, fiery Plateau State-based clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has confirmed that he has conducted over 70 mass burials for Christian victims allegedly massacred by Islamic extremists and bandits in the state.
Rev. Dachomo who is the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state who made the claims in an interview with a British journalist, Piers Morgan on his “PiersUncensored” Podcast on Tuesday, accused the Nigerian government of downplaying the killing of Christians in the country and particularly in Plateau State.
While speaking on the ongoing genocide, Rev. Dachomo said:
“I have performed several genocide burials, more than 70 times. Imagine some of the graves have five hundred and one people killed in just one night in Dogo Nahawa in a village called Gembruk.
“The Nigerian government downplayed that one because the Islamic are controlling the government.”
The outspoken clergy also alleged that the Boko Haram terrorist group was established by some government officials to remove former President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, the move was intended to drive Christians from power and install a Muslim as president.
“The background of the initial fact-finding is that many high-ranking government officials created Boko Haram to remove Goodluck Jonathan, who is a Christian,” he said.
“They caused riots in every village, and the people ran away; they were relocated. Their target was to kill the Christians because Goodluck is a Christian. That’s why Goodluck said ‘my blood is not worth it’,” he added.
