United States Congressman, Riley Moore, has threatened that the US will hold the Nigerian government responsible if anything should happen to Plateau State-based Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo over his anti-Christian genocide crusade.
Moore, who represents West Virginia in the US parliament,
has the warning in a post he shared on his X account, following a recent
revelation by the outspoken preacher that he has been getting threats and
warnings from loyalists of President Bola Tinubu to desist from posting videos
of Christian killings and mass burials in the state.
In a video message he posted on his Facebook page on
November 21, 2025, Dachomo had said: “They are threatening and warning me to
stop exposing President Bola Tinubu’s government over the ongoing killings of
Christians by Fulani terrorists.”
He also claimed that he had been receiving warnings and
threatening phone calls from a high-ranking official in the Tinubu
administration, following a visit from a presidential advisor expressing
concern over his criticism of the government.
“I said, so I’m exposing my government while they watch me
on social media. But what about me? The same government is exposing us to
Fulani killings by refusing to stop the attacks. Their silence endangers
Christians all over Nigeria,” Dachomo said.
Less than 24 hours after Rev. Dachomo made the revelation,
his Facebook page was deleted while a new Instagram page was also shut down 24
hours after it was created.
Facebook Meta was the next to deny Rev. Dachomo the use of
its account to post his videos and messages, citing the claim that his content
posed a threat to Nigeria’s national security.
These developments and consequent threats to the clergy have
drawn condemnation from both local and international activists, many of whom
have offered legal support.
In his submission, Moore stated that Dachomo, the Regional
Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi LGA of
Plateau, is in danger, but categorically said that the US would not take it
lightly if Rev. Dachomo were to come to any harm.
“I do want to highlight a case that just happened recently
in the Plateau State,” Rep. Moore said.
“We had a pastor there who had warned the Nigerian
government and said, ‘We are under imminent threat. We’re going to face an
attack. If you don’t send some forces here in the next 24 hours, we need help.
Please come here and help us’.
“The Nigerian government not only ignored it, but they
literally put out a press release about it, calling it fake news, hyperbole,
and being overblown. Well, 13 people lost their lives the next day
“How can you trust a government that doesn’t even show up
when you ask them to? How are you supposed to trust your life with something
like that? You can’t.
“The US will hold the Nigerian government responsible if
anything should happen to the Pastor,” Moore said.
