Plateau State Clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo Says ‘Boko Haram Terrorists Have Placed Bounty On My Head’
Outspoken Plateau State clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has raised alarm over a fresh threat to his life from Boko Haram terrorists with the claim that they have placed a bounty on his head with a handsome reward for the first person who would trace and kill him.
Rev. Dachomo who is the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau State, who made the claims in a video shared on social media platforms on Thursday, said the fresh threat is coming following his consistent anti-genocide stance and videos of Christian killings and mass burials he has been revealing.
His stance has also gotten him into trouble with the Nigerian authorities after he revealed that certain individuals loyal to President Bola Tinubu have been warning and threatening him to desist from posting such videos.
His Facebook and Instagram accounts have also been deleted. At the same time, Facebook Meta has also barred him from posting the videos with the excuse that they are capable of threatening Nigeria’s internal security.
In the video, Dachomo revealed he has credible inside information that the Islamist terrorist group is very serious about eliminating him for speaking out against their violent activities.
“Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorists, have placed a bounty on my head, and anyone who kills me first will be rewarded,” he stated in the video.
The clergy, however, insisted that despite the danger he faces as he tries to draw the attention of the world to Christian genocide in the state and the Middle Belt region, nothing will deter him from continuing with his advocacy despite the personal danger he faces for addressing the growing insecurity and persecution in the country.
“Before I embarked on this journey of exposing Christian genocide in Plateau and in Nigeria, I knew my life would be in danger, but I do not fear death,” he stated.
“In fact, my death will be more dangerous to them than now that I am alive.
“This is not just about me; it is about every Nigerian who desires peace and safety. We need support to stand against this terrorism,” he emphasized.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
