“No Ransom Plea If I’m Kidnap, My Corpse Will Liberate Many Christians” — Nigerian Cleric
By Abosede Temitope
In a bold and unapologetic declaration, Evangelist Ezekiel Dachomo, a prominent cleric and regional leader of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), has stated that if kidnapped, no ransom should be paid for his release. In a viral video, Dachomo expressed his conviction that his death would “raise war” and ultimately lead to the liberation of Christians in Nigeria.
Dachomo’s statement is a testament to his unwavering commitment to speaking out against the persistent violence and killings in the North, particularly those targeting Christians. “My grave will speak, my blood will raise war that will lead to Christians’ liberation,” he declared.
The cleric’s bold stance has drawn nationwide attention, with many weighing in on his courageous yet provocative statement. Dachomo’s resolve is rooted in his moral duty to document the atrocities committed against Christians in Nigeria, ensuring that the world acknowledges the ongoing violence.
In a recent video, Dachomo showed the mass burial of victims of an attack in Heipang community near Jos, Plateau State, describing it as an “ongoing Christian genocide” in northern Nigeria. His unwavering stance has sparked a national conversation about the plight of Christians in the country.
