Plateau cleric who lost relatives in attack visits Israel, prays for Netanyahu, Tinubu

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a cleric from Plateau, embarked on a unique journey to Israel, where he engaged in Christian advocacy for his home country and its leaders. In a Facebook post, he expressed his intention to pray for Nigeria, its leaders, and its people, expressing belief in miraculous interventions from God. The cleric further elaborated on his prayer intentions in a subsequent video, mentioning his hope for divine healing, hope, and the fulfillment of his heart's desires.

During his visit, Dachomo also extended his prayers to Israel, its leadership, and the Israel Defense Forces, requesting divine protection over them. He specifically mentioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his cabinet, and the Israel Defence Forces, asking God for victory over their adversaries. In addition to Israel, Dachomo prayed for the leaders of Nigeria, including President Bola Tinubu and Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, along with other African leaders such as those from South Africa and Ghana.

In his role as a fervent advocate for the Plateau community, Dachomo has been vocal about the attacks on his region, urging greater international attention to the killings in the state. He has previously alleged that nine members of his extended family were killed during an attack in July 2026 in Riyom Local Government Area. Dachomo has also reported receiving threats against his life due to his outspoken stance on the attacks in Plateau.

In his latest statement, Dachomo did not disclose the duration of his trip to Israel or the organizations involved in the advocacy tour.
