Dachomo, a Plateau-born pastor widely known for documenting attacks and mass burials across Nigeria’s Middle Belt, said the renewed global attention signals a pivotal moment in efforts to confront the persistent violence in the region.

Reacting to remarks by U.S. Congressman Riley M. Moore of West Virginia after his Nigeria tour, Dachomo noted that he had endured years of criticism for consistently speaking out against atrocities targeting Christian communities.

“Many have called me names for standing on the side of truth,” he said.

“Even when some try to suppress it, truth cannot be hidden forever. My Facebook account may have been taken down for raising these concerns, but the light of truth will always prevail. Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Help is on the way.”

Congressman Moore, in a post on late Thursday, shared findings from the delegation’s visit after meeting Catholic Bishops Wilfred Anagbe and Stephen Dugu, as well as the Tor Tiv. The team also interacted with internally displaced persons, many of whom recounted harrowing experiences of repeated attacks on their communities.

Moore highlighted one particularly heartbreaking testimony involving a woman who witnessed the killing of five of her children, describing the violence as part of a horrific genocidal campaign attributed to extremist elements within Fulani communities.

“I’ve never seen anything like it. It will stay with me the rest of my life,” he wrote.

He further revealed that he is preparing a detailed report for U.S. President Donald Trump, including recommendations for coordinated action with the Nigerian Government to protect vulnerable populations and curb ongoing terrorist threats.

Dachomo said Moore’s findings and his subsequent appearance on U.S. television underscore the growing international acknowledgment of the crisis faced by Christian communities in the Middle Belt.
