Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, the regional chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, has vowed to drag the Nigerian government to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the alleged killing of Christians in Plateau and other parts of northern Nigeria.

In a statement shared on his social media, Rev. Dachomo revealed that he has compiled a comprehensive list of Christian victims, churches destroyed, and mass burials since 2010. He plans to present the documentation to the ICC and the United States government to demand action against the perpetrators.

“The world needs to know that what we are saying is not false. We are also planning to take Nigeria before the ICC and sue the Miyetti Allah association for their role in these atrocities,” he declared.

The cleric accused both the Nigerian government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) of remaining silent, which he claims has emboldened attackers and worsened the security situation.

He cited recent incidents, including a mass burial of 17 victims in Heipang, as evidence of what he described as Christian-targeted violence, despite repeated government denials of systematic killings. Rev. Dachomo also referenced the 2010 Dogo Nahawa attack, where over 500 Christians were reportedly killed in a single night, as part of a long history of unrecorded atrocities.

“Due to my outcry, my own village has been attacked several times. Over 50 people, including my family members and friends, have been slaughtered. My best friend’s wife and five children were burned alive,” he lamented.

Rev. Dachomo confirmed that donations from concerned Nigerians and international organizations are supporting his cause, as well as humanitarian assistance to families of victims.

He emphasized that his ongoing documentation covers multiple locations affected by attacks, including Wurekum, Doruwa, Mangu, Bokkos, and Jaruwa, where worshippers were reportedly killed in church fires.

“I’ll compile all these incidents into a report and present it to the world to show that genocide is happening in Nigeria,” he stated.

The cleric’s declaration highlights rising frustration among community leaders in Plateau State and underscores calls for urgent government intervention and accountability regarding attacks on Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
