Outspoken Nigerian Pastor Loses Facebook Page After Testifying on Mass Burials.

The religious leader acknowledged the development when contacted, stating simply that the information was accurate. The deletion comes amid heightened attention to his recent allegations of widespread attacks on Christian communities in parts of Nigeria.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HEREā¶
Rev. Dachomo has been outspoken in recent months, asserting that communities across Plateau and neighbouring states are experiencing sustained violence that amounts to genocide. In a widely circulated interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, he claimed to have overseen more than 70 mass burials for victims of repeated assaults. His statements have amplified international scrutiny, especially following his appearance before the United States Congress, where he urged global actors to intervene to halt the kell!ngs.
His testimony aligned with remarks from U.S. Congressman Riley Moore, who stressed that Nigeria must fulfil two key requirements before Washington can proceed with any military cooperation. Moore insisted that Nigerian authorities must demonstrate clear action toward ending attacks on Christian populations and dismantling armed groups active across the Middle Belt region.
The removal of Dachomoās social-media account coincides with rising diplomatic friction after U.S. President Donald Trump placed Nigeria back on the āCountry of Particular Concernā list. American officials cited systemic violence, while Nigerian authorities rejected the data as inaccurate and maintained that substantial efforts are underway to address insecurity. Senior government officials have recently travelled to Washington to present Nigeriaās position and challenge claims of religious persecution.
