‘No one is planning to kill you’ – Fulani group tells Rev Dachomo

Published

on

A group under the auspices of ‘Plateau Fulani Like-Minds’ (PFL) has reacted to widespread allegations that outspoken clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has been marked for assassination by some Islamic extremists and bandits within one week over his insistence that Christians are being killed in Plateau State.

The Anonymous Group, a decentralized, international online collective known for its “hacktivism,” which involves cyber attacks and online protests against entities such as governments, had in a post on its Facebook page on Friday, raised an alarm claiming that Rev. Dachomo has been marked for elimination.

In the post, the Anonymous Group had said that some Islamic terrorists and bandits had issued orders to assassinate Rev. Dachomo within the next seven days, believing he was responsible for Trump’s intervention.

“Photos of Pastor Dachomo Bwede Ezekiel, a man of God, have been circulated among Islamic terrorists and bandits in the former country. They have issued orders to assassinate him within the next seven days, believing he is responsible for Trump’s intervention.

“The militants are furious that their livelihoods and their very lives are now in jeopardy and are being masterminded by this man. The instructions are “Kill him and cut his head off”, the group had warned.

Rev. Dachomo himself had, in several Facebook posts and videos, claimed that he had been receiving death threats through calls and messages, but insisted that he is not afraid of death as long as he is standing for the truth.

In one of such posts, he had said:

“They have been threatening me everywhere, even on social media. They even threatened to kill me during mass burials. They did the same to Senator Gyang Dantong; he was killed during a burial. They have vowed to kill me. Even the Nigerian Army issued a press release against me, accusing me of inciting people. But they are the ones inciting the Muslims against us by refusing to make arrests.”

But in a statement signed on Saturday by the Chairman of the Fulani group, Usman Balarabe, the PFL said the man of God has been riding on the crest of violence in Plateau State to deceive those they describe as his “gullible followers” to gain popularity for himself.

Balarabe stated that it was hilarious that Rev. Dachomo is the only Christian cleric in the state who has taken it upon himself to whip up sentiments against the Fulani people whenever there is an attack in any part of the state, and always blames the Fulanis as perpetrators of such attacks.

He noted that the way Rev. Dachomo is going is akin to giving a dog a bad name to hang it.

“We, the Plateau Fulani Like-Minds have noticed with great dismay the way a respected clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has been whipping up sentiments every day, claiming that he has been receiving death threats from Fulani people and other Islamic groups,” Balarabe said in the statement.

“However, we want to remind Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo that as far as the Fulani people in Plateau State are concerned, no one is planning to kill him. He is just trying to give a dog a bad name to hang it by making his gullible followers think Fulani people want to kill him.

“We would like Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo if he has the consciousness of a true man of God, to make public the threat messages he has been receiving.

“He should also publish the names of individuals and groups that have been threatening him for the world to see.

“We respect Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo and hold him in very high esteem but he is gradually crossing the line with his regular allegations that the Fulani people in Plateau State want to kill him.

“But the big question is this: why would we want his death? For the avoidance of doubt, the Fulani people are peaceful.

“We accept that there are criminal elements amongst us, just like there are criminals amongst the Berom, Tarok, Mwaghavul, Irigwe, Angas, Afizere, and other tribes in Plateau State. Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo only picks on Fulanis to accuse them of crimes.

“This ethnic generalization has git to stop. We are no longer comfortable with the way the reverend keeps accusing the Fulani people of planning to kill him. And as far as we are concerned, we are not in any way planning evil against him.

“We also call on security agencies to call him to order as we will not continue to keep quiet while he disparages our ethnic group at every opportunity he has,” Balarabe stated.

After Bitten To De@th By Snake, Another Snake Reportedly Found Under Ambulance Carrying Nanyah’s Remains Back Home

Published

on

A London-based teacher and culture ambassador, Uche Nworah, has shared a shocking incident that reportedly occurred while the remains of late singer Ifunanya Nwangene popularly known as Nanyah, were being transported to Enugu.

Nworah, who claims to have been Facebook friends with Ifunanya’s uncle for years, revealed details he says were shared directly by her uncle during a phone conversation.

Contrary to earlier reports circulating on social media, Nworah clarified that Ifunanya did not reside on the ground floor of her Abuja apartment but on the second floor.

This, he noted, raises questions about how snakes could have accessed her living space, as ground-floor access via drains or toilets would not apply.

According to Nworah, the ambulance carrying Ifunanya’s body broke down while en route to Enugu, in line with her father’s wishes.

The breakdown caused a delay as a replacement vehicle had to be called to continue the transport.

While waiting for the replacement ambulance, a snake was reportedly found under the broken-down vehicle.

Sharing the uncle’s account on Facebook, Nworah wrote:

“…Beyond social media claims, I received a call from Ifunanya’s uncle, who has been my Facebook friend for many years. During our conversation, he made disclosures that some may consider disturbing, while others may view them as mere coincidences.

He stated that contrary to widespread reports on social media, Ifunanya did not live on the ground floor of her residence but on the second floor. This raises questions about how snakes could have gained access to her apartment. Had she lived on the ground floor, one might argue that the snakes entered through drainage systems or toilets, but this explanation appears less straightforward given that she lived on the second floor.

He further recounted a strange incident that occurred while her body was being transported to Enugu State in an ambulance, in accordance with her father’s wishes. According to him, the ambulance conveying her remains broke down along the Abuja Expressway, necessitating calling for a replacement vehicle. During the wait he said, a snake was discovered beneath the broken-down ambulance and was subsequently killed.

While these incidents may be entirely unrelated and purely coincidental, they nonetheless raise questions and leave room for reflection.”

The revelation has sparked discussion online, with many questioning the unusual events surrounding the singer’s death.

FMINO PRESS RELEASE: CAC AT 35 YEARS HAS BECOME A PILLAR OF NIGERIA’S ECONOMIC CREDIBILITY – INFORMATION MINISTER

Published

on

 

The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to transparency, institutional reform, and ease of doing business, describing effective inter-agency collaboration as critical to the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Minister made this known while receiving the Registrar-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, who led the delegation of the Commission on a courtesy visit to the Ministry ahead of the Commission’s 35th anniversary celebration (CAC@35).

Idris commended the Corporate Affairs Commission for what he described as remarkable institutional reforms that have repositioned the Commission as “a key driver of Nigeria’s business environment and economic credibility.” He noted that CAC’s transformation, particularly through technology and digitisation, aligns strongly with the Federal Government’s broader reform agenda.

The Minister praised CAC’s role in improving the ease of doing business, strengthening corporate governance, and enhancing investor confidence, stressing that such reforms are vital to national development. He also acknowledged the Commission’s contribution to Nigeria’s recent delisting from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, describing it as a major milestone that reflects growing global confidence in Nigeria’s regulatory and transparency frameworks.

According to him, the progress recorded under the Tinubu administration, including rising foreign reserves, easing inflation, improved investor confidence, and economic stabilisation, cannot be fully told without recognising the role of reform-driven institutions such as the Corporate Affairs Commission.

The Minister further encouraged CAC to intensify public engagement and advocacy to ensure Nigerians are fully informed about the Commission’s innovations, services, and achievements. He assured the Commission of the Ministry’s support in amplifying its reforms and programmes through strategic communication and public enlightenment.

Earlier, the Registrar-General of CAC, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, said the courtesy visit was to formally invite the Honourable Minister to the Commission’s 35th anniversary celebration and to present a scorecard of reforms achieved under the current administration.

He explained that CAC has transitioned from a largely manual, location-bound registry to a fully digital, technology-driven institution, with services now accessible in real time from anywhere in the country. He disclosed that the Commission has expanded its digital offerings from 33 services to over 100 online services, deployed artificial intelligence for business name reservation and registration, and introduced Application Programming Interface (API) services to support banks, embassies, security agencies, and other institutions.

The Registrar-General highlighted the operationalisation of the Beneficial Ownership Register, noting that it has strengthened transparency, boosted investor confidence, and positioned Nigeria as a global reference point for corporate disclosure. He added that CAC’s reforms have helped bring over four million informal businesses into the tax net, improved security by registering POS operators, and supported small and medium-scale enterprises through free business registrations in partnership with relevant agencies.

He also announced the Commission’s upcoming partnership with Google to further strengthen its digital infrastructure and service delivery, as well as the launch of an AI-powered public support platform to guide users on corporate and regulatory matters.
He thanked the Honourable Minister for the warm reception and support, and formally invited him to the CAC@35 anniversary celebration scheduled for February 9, 2026.

The event was attended by the Permanent Secretary of Information and National Orientation, Mr Ogbodo Chinasa Nnam, Director National Archives, Dr. Evelyn Odigboh, Director Public Relations and Protocol, Dr. Haruna Suleiman, and the Special Assistant, Administration to the Honourable Minister, Dr. Sunday Baba, fnipr.
