Many people are still bamboozled when they hear non-Muslim spokesmen from Muslim countries speak about how wonderfully they are treated and about how tolerant the local Muslims are. The fact is that in many areas, if the non-Muslims don’t say this, they will face violence. The murder of the family of Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo demonstrates this yet again.
“Family of Nigerian Pastor Targeted in Attack That Killed Nine Relatives,” by Masara Kim, Truth Nigeria, July 15, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
(Jos) Nigeria — The man who has given voice to the devastation of 100 million Christians had to bury his own kith and ken on Monday.
Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo, days after renewing a call for self-defense amid what he described as a pitiful response to genocide, buried nine members of his extended family killed by Fulani gunmen. They made clear as they broke into his relatives’ compound Saturday night that they would make him pay for speaking out.
Dachomo, widely known as “Dara” — father in Berom — was regarded as a father and grandfather figure to the victims.
Survivors of the midnight massacre in Kum village in Rim District, Riyom Local Government Area said the attackers asked for the whereabouts of their “father” and declared, “today you will learn a hard lesson,” before opening fire.
As of Wednesday, July 15, rumors of more attacks swirled in communities south of Jos, birthplace of the outspoken preacher. Yet, Dachomo remained rooted in the area, mourning with relatives following the late-night attack on July 11, 2026.
“This is where I grew up with my grandmother,” Dachomo said during the mass funeral on Monday, July 13. “And I know that the people that perpetrated this act knew that I have a connection with this family. The man whose household was attacked is my nephew.”
“This is not the first time they are attacking this community,” he added. “This same way they killed my grandmother Ngo Martha and removed her heart [some years ago], they killed my uncle Dangai and removed his tongue. And they are pressuring us, they want to make sure we leave this community.”
On July 15, Christian residents in communities 20 to 35 miles south of Jos were warned to brace for more attacks starting the same day. The region has seen widespread violence in recent years, with at least 200 people killed in the past five months alone, according to local Berom tribal leader and lawyer, Solomon Dalyop.
When TruthNigeria reached out about his safety, his response was brief: “I cannot run away and leave my people when I know I am the reason they were killed.”
TruthNigeria learned the attack targeted a single household, killing nine family members, including a two-month-old baby. Mr. James Yohanna, one of only three survivors, told TruthNigeria the attackers, who he said spoke Fulfulde, the language of the Fulani tribe, demanded the whereabouts of the “father” of the family before shooting….

Fake genocide—Israel accused of such. Ongoing genocide—African Christians slaughtered by Muslims.

Just another day of Islamic evil violence against Christians in Nigeria. And the world media and leaders looks the other way.

Jesus warned His disciples that this persecution would happen. He also gave assurances that He will return and exact vengeance on all of the perpetrators.
As the persecution has come, so will Jesus Christ. Christians must continue to have faith, no matter what.
The reward will be well-worth the cost. the living will be joined by their loved one; those who have been murdered, when they arise in the resurrection.
Mo says
Oh, how unbearable! Please Lord Jesus, come quickly! Put an end to this wickedness!
