Prominent Plateau State-based clergy, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has claimed that he has conducted mass burials over 70 times following the alleged massacre of Nigerian Christians by Islamic extremists.
In an interview with a British journalist, the clergyman accused the Nigerian government of paying no attention to the killings of Christians in the country.
He said, “I have performed several genocide burials, more than 70 times. Some of the graves are five hundred and one people killed in just one night.
“The Nigerian government downplayed that one because the Islamic are controlling the government.”
Dachomo alleged that the Boko Haram terrorist group was established by some government officials to remove former President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, the move was intended to drive Christians from power and install a Muslim counterpart.
“The background of the initial fact-finding is that many high-ranking government officials created Boko Haram to remove Goodluck Jonathan, who is a Christian.
“They caused riots in every village, and the people ran away; they were relocated. Their target is to kill the Christians because Goodluck is a Christian. That’s why Goodluck said ‘my blood is not worth it’,” he added.
