A verified video now circulating online
0:02
shows Reverend Ezekiel Dachimo
0:04
responding firmly to recent remarks by
0:07
Islamic cleric Shik Ahmad Gumi who
0:10
alleged that Christians in Nigeria's
0:12
middle belts are buying empty coverings
0:16
is an empty we are not a religion of
0:18
liars. Christianity doesn't lie. They
0:22
know but Islam is a religion of liars.
0:26
saw the children of Islam are bunch of
0:29
liars. They came out and said there's no
0:32
genocide and the so-called cal they
0:36
joined them because their light is dead.
0:42
They don't have any light again. They
0:44
have lost their saltiness. That's why
0:47
Islam is maring on car
0:50
and give them a decision what they will
0:52
do.
0:54
I've just received a provocable
0:57
news
1:00
that this grave
1:03
that
1:07
27 people are lying on this grave and
1:10
but God grace we are going to build this
1:12
grave.
1:14
In the video, Reverend Dachu most
1:16
strongly rejects the claim, describing
1:18
it as deeply disrespectful to grieving
1:21
families who've lost loved ones to
1:23
relentless violence. He asserts that
1:26
every coffin buried holds a real victim,
1:29
not propaganda.
1:31
The Reverend warns that such comments
1:33
from religious leaders are not only
1:36
insensitive but dangerously
1:38
inflammatory. He urges all clerics,
1:41
Christians or Muslims to speak with
1:43
truth and caution.
1:45
Reverend Dachimu emphasized that the
1:47
pain and trauma of middle belt
1:49
communities must not be downplayed and
1:52
justice must be pursued for those
1:54
affected.
1:56
The video has since gone viral, sparking
1:58
heated debates across social media
2:00
platforms nationwide.
