US Congressman Riley Moore has issued a stern warning, stating that the United States will hold the Nigerian government accountable if anything happens to Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, a pastor from Plateau State who has garnered international attention for his outspoken condemnation of what he calls a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria.
Moore, who represents West Virginia, made his remarks on social media shortly after Rev. Dachomo disclosed that he had been receiving threats from supporters of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.
“How can you trust a government that doesn’t even show up when you ask them to? The US will hold the Nigerian government responsible if anything should happen to the Pastor,” Moore wrote on his X account.
Rev. Dachomo, a prominent voice in highlighting the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, had earlier revealed that he had been warned to cease his vocal opposition to the Nigerian government. The pastor claimed he was approached by a high-ranking official within the administration after a presidential adviser visited him to caution him against continuing his criticism.
The threats against Rev. Dachomo have raised significant concern both domestically and internationally, with many fearing the growing risks to religious freedom and safety in Nigeria.
