Trump: Evangelist Ezekiel Dachomo Cries Out to the U.S. for Military Intervention After Fulani Terrorists Kill Pastor, Family, and Burn Down Two Christian Communities in Plateau State
Jos, Nigeria – November 4, 2025
A Nigerian evangelist, Ezekiel Dachomo, has made an emotional plea to the United States government to deploy its army to rescue Christians in Nigeria, following yet another deadly attack in Plateau State.
In a heart-wrenching statement that has since gone viral, Dachomo revealed that one of his colleagues, a reverend, was brutally murdered along with his wife and children by Fulani terrorists. The attack is reported to have occurred as gunmen invaded and burnt down two Christian communities, leaving trails of blood, destruction, and grief.
“Yesterday, one of my colleagues, a reverend, was slaughtered alongside his wife and children by Fulani terrorists. The Nigerian soldiers came to cause more confusion after the terrorists had finished sacking two communities,” Dachomo lamented.
The evangelist accused the Nigerian military of arriving after the attackers had fled, only to intimidate and harass surviving villagers instead of offering protection or pursuing the assailants.
His remarks echo growing frustration among local communities who accuse security forces of complicity and negligence in the ongoing wave of violence across Nigeria.
Over the past decade, Christian-majority areas in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Borno, and Taraba States have suffered repeated assaults carried out by armed Fulani militias, leading to tens of thousands of deaths and mass displacement.
Despite repeated condemnations, the Nigerian government has been widely criticized for failing to halt the killings and bring perpetrators to justice.
Dachomo’s call to the U.S. comes amid intensifying international concern over what advocacy groups and religious leaders describe as a slow-motion genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
Several American lawmakers and faith-based organizations have urged Washington to reassess its diplomatic and military relations with Abuja over the government’s handling of the crisis.
Donald Trump had in the past few days threatened to send in the U.S. army to solve the growing Christian genocide “quickly” in Nigeria. A statement that has been applauded by most Nigerians, however, Nigeria politicians have spoken against the move, fueling allegations of complicity of the state.
Dachomo’s plea underscores the desperation and fear gripping Christian communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt, as attacks continue with impunity.
Observers warn that unless decisive action is taken, either domestically or through international pressure, the cycle of terror, displacement, and mistrust could further deepen Nigeria’s already fragile unity.
