- Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a prominent clergyman, has addressed rumors about his health.
- He firmly denies claims of being dead or seriously ill.
- In a social media video, he reassured the public of his well-being.
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a well-known clergyman and vocal critic of the killing of Christians in Plateau State, has spoken out to debunk rumours circulating about his health, firmly rejecting claims that he is dead or gravely ill.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the cleric addressed the reports head-on, assuring the public that he is alive and well despite widespread speculation.
“Some of you said that I’m dead. I’m alive, I’m not dead. Some of you said they have flown me abroad and that I’m about to die from sickness. I am alive,” he said.
“Those who have concluded that I’m finished, I’m still alive, and today I will perform the latest warrior in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
His response comes amid rising concern sparked by a Plateau State journalist, Masara Kim Usman, who recently urged Christians within the state and across the country to pray for Rev. Dachomo. Usman had claimed that the cleric was experiencing a relapse of a liver condition and might need urgent medical attention outside Nigeria.
Rev. Dachomo serves as the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area. He reportedly underwent a successful liver transplant in India in early 2025, with his wife donating the organ.
Upon his return to Nigeria, the cleric became even more outspoken in condemning what he described as the ongoing and systematic killing of Christians in Plateau State. His bold stance has made him one of the few religious leaders to consistently address the issue publicly, despite repeated denials by the Nigerian government.
Widely respected for his courage and influence, Rev. Dachomo was later diagnosed with liver cancer, which led to the transplant surgery. After the operation, he released an emotional video expressing gratitude to God and appreciation to those who supported him through prayers and encouragement.
According to Usman, the cleric’s relentless advocacy, along with alleged pressure and intimidation from individuals who dispute claims of Christian persecution in Nigeria, may have negatively affected his health. He noted that Rev. Dachomo has appeared unwell in recent weeks, explaining his reduced public presence compared to late 2025.
