Social media accounts including Facebook account of Plateau State-based cleric, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has been deleted, fuelling concerns among his supporters about alleged attempts to silence voices speaking on the killings in Nigeria.
News of Dachomo's account deletion was first disclosed on Facebook by one of the pastor’s supporters and social media influencer, Isaac Show, who said he received a call from Rev. Dachomo notifying him that all his social media accounts had been taken down.
According to Isaac Show, the cleric was informed that his posts were considered to “jeopardise national security,” a claim he strongly rejected.
“A government that sympathises with terrorists,” Show wrote, expressing outrage over the development. He alleged that individuals he described as “terrorist sympathisers” still maintain active social media accounts without consequence.
Show added that his own Facebook page had been shadow-banned, with visibility drastically restricted.
“This is the price we have to pay for following Jesus Christ and speaking the truth and I’ll never give up,” he said.
Rev. Dachomo confirmed the deletion of his account in a brief message to journalists, saying, “It is true my Facebook account has been deleted.”
Some Nigerians using x former Twitter ask show to open an x account for the Reverend but show said even x have started shawdow banning his own account and that of other persons speaking against the genocide.
