Repentant Boko Haram Members In Security Agencies Are Giving Information To Their Brothers – Rev Dachomo Claims

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, the Regional Leader of the Church of Christ Nations in Plateau State, has stated that integrating repentant Boko Haram members into the security forces has weakened the system.

Dachomo made this known on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ programme.

Speaking on the insecurity and alleged genocide against Christians in Nigeria, particularly in the northern part of the country, Dachomo urged the Federal Government to find a solution to the issue.

He said, “The security has been polluted with the absorption of the repentant Boko Haram, assisting, and they are the ones giving information. They are still with their brothers in the bush.

“The Federal Government should do what it can do. It should never arrest anybody that kills a cow through chemicals.

“To avoid problems, we will start putting chemicals on our lands, and if their cows die, we are ready for self-defence. It’s not like before. Let me tell you, withdraw the Nigerian Army, you will see peace.” 

The cleric’s remarks follow rising international scrutiny, including claims by foreign groups alleging mass targeting of Christians, a narrative the Federal Government and several key stakeholders have repeatedly disputed.
