Irked by allegations made by controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, that Christians in Plateau State and other parts of the Middle Belt bury empty coffins in mass graves in a bid to portray mass killings of Christians and promote fake narrative of genocide, fiery Plateau clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo has challenged the Islamic scholar to prove the allegations or be prepared for a court proceeding.
The Kaduna-based Islamic cleric had, in a post on his
Facebook page, claimed that a doctor who lives in the Middle Belt region of the
country alerted him to what he described as the false tricks employed by
Christian leaders in the region to deceive the world and push the Christian
genocide narrative which led to US President Donald Trump classifying Nigeria
as a “Country of Particular Concern”.
“A Doctor wrote me: Do you know that some Middle Belt
Christian groups are now staging fake mass killings?” Gumi wrote in the post.
“They are burying empty coffins and recording the process as
if real victims were killed, just to push the narrative of a Christian
genocide. This is desperation at its peak. A disgrace. Manipulating information
to provoke hatred and international sympathy?”
But in a video he posted on his Facebook page on Friday,
Rev. Dachomo called out Gumi and challenged him to prove his accusations and
point out where the empty coffins were buried.
To prove that the claims of mass burial are real, Rev.
Dachomo took a team of journalists to the site where 27 victims were buried in
a mass grave in the Bindi-Jebbu community of Riyom Local Government Area of
Plateau State on July 25, 2025, after they were brutally murdered by Fulani
militias in an attack on July 15, 2025.
According to the teary Rev. Dachomo, the victims included
women and children who were gunned down and macheted by the bandits in an
overnight assault.
In the video, Rev. Dachomo said Sheikh Gumi had not only
desecrated the dead by spitting on their graves but had also made a mockery of
the survivors who are still trying to come to terms with the loss of their
loved ones who were killed for no reason.
He also vowed that the community is willing and ready to dig
up the grave and bring out the coffins to prove to the world that there were
corpses at the time of the burial.
Addressing Gumi directly, the clergy said:
“How dare you say we bûried empty caskets? The youths are
ready we’re going to dig the graves. We are ready to bring out the corpses
before everyone’s eyes!”
He also called on the United States, the United Nations,
local and international media to come to the state with a promise to take them
around various graves where murdered Christians were buried to further prove
that the genocide narratives are real.
In his anger, Rev. Dachomo said Sheikh Gumi will surely face
the wrath of God in the fullness of time for downplaying the wanton killing of
innocent people by Fulani militias in the state.
