The Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations, COCIN, in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in Plateau State, Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, has raised the alarm that Fulani herdsmen sent him a threatening letter and vowed to attack and kill him along with members of his household.
Dachomo raised the alarm via his official X handle on Friday, after fresh attacks on communities in the state by suspected armed herdsmen.
According to him, the letter, written in both Hausa and English, was sent by the herdsmen and that copies have been distributed to heads of various security agencies in the state.
He quoted the letter’s senders as saying they would kill him and nine members of his household, just as they allegedly killed nine of his relatives.
“A few days ago, Fulani herdsmen sent a threatening letter to me and to members of my church. The letter was written in both Hausa and English, and its message was terrifying.
“They vowed to attack me and kill me soon, just as they killed nine of my relatives. Copies of these threatening letters have already been handed over to the security operatives,” Dachomo said.
Despite the threats, Dachomo said he remains unafraid, placing his life in God’s hands.
“Many people have asked me if I am afraid. My answer is no. I am not afraid because my life is in the hands of Almighty God,” he stated.
