According to the Daily Post, on Thursday, November 27, 2025, a United States lawmaker, Riley Moore, warned that Washington will hold Nigeria accountable if any harm comes to Plateau State cleric Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo over his outspoken campaign against what he calls anti-Christian attacks.
Moore, who represents West Virginia in the U.S. Congress, issued the caution in a post on his X handle after Rev. Dachomo revealed that he had been receiving threats from supporters of President Bola Tinubu.
The preacher said these individuals have been pressuring him to stop sharing videos showing alleged attacks on Christians and mass burials in Plateau State.
In a video shared on his Facebook page on November 21, 2025, Dachomo stated, “They are threatening and warning me to stop exposing President Bola Tinubu’s government over the ongoing killings of Christians by Fulani terrorists.”
He further alleged that a top official in the Tinubu administration had also warned him through repeated phone calls after a presidential aide visited him to express concerns over his constant 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,” he added.
Within a day of making these claims public, Facebook removed Dachomo’s page. A newly created Instagram account he opened afterward was also taken down just 24 hours later.
Shortly after, Meta barred him from using its platform entirely, saying his posts were considered a risk to Nigeria’s national security.
These actions, along with the alleged threats, have sparked criticism from human rights activists both within and outside Nigeria, many of whom have offered to assist him legally.
Moore stressed that Rev. Dachomo, who serves as the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi LGA, faces serious danger.
He made it clear that the United States would react strongly if anything happened to him.
“I do want to highlight a case that just happened recently in Plateau State,” Moore said.
He recalled that the pastor had earlier warned the Nigerian government of an imminent attack and pleaded for urgent deployment of security personnel within 24 hours, but his warnings were dismissed.
According to Moore, not only did the authorities ignore the alert, but they also issued a statement describing the pastor’s warning as exaggerated and untrue. Sadly, 13 people were killed the following day.
He questioned how citizens can rely on a government that fails to respond when lives are at stake.
“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. View, More,
