The Facebook account of Plateau State–based cleric, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has been deleted, sparking concern among his supporters who claim the move is an attempt to suppress voices speaking on continued killings in Nigeria.
The deletion was first announced by one of his supporters, social media influencer Isaac Show, who revealed that Rev. Dachomo personally informed him that all his social media accounts had been taken down.
According to Show, the cleric was told that his posts were deemed capable of “jeopardising national security,” a justification he strongly rejected.
“A government that sympathises with terr0r!sts,” Show wrote in frustration, alleging that individuals he described as “terrorist sympathisers” continue to operate freely online without sanctions.
Show further claimed his own Facebook page has been shadow-banned, drastically limiting his visibility.
“This is the price we have to pay for following Jesus Christ and speaking the truth, and I’ll never give up,” he added.
Confirming the development in a brief message to journalists, Rev. Dachomo said, “It is true my Facebook account has been deleted.”
Rev. Dachomo has recently gained both national and international attention for his vocal claims that Christian communities in parts of Nigeria are facing targeted attacks.
He has accused armed groups of repeatedly assaulting Christian populations in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, and Taraba States.
The cleric has documented what he describes as “mass burials” of victims and, in a widely circulated interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, claimed to have presided over more than 70 such burial exercises one allegedly involving 500 victims.
He reiterated these claims earlier this year while appearing before the United States Congress, accusing global institutions of failing to adequately address what he termed an “ongoing Christian genocide.”
The deletion of his social media accounts has now intensified debates around digital censorship, national security concerns, and freedom of expression in Nigeria.
