President Bola Tinubu’s Aide Abiodun Essiet Meets Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo in Plateau
A senior aide to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Abiodun Essiet, meets with Plateau clergyman Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo in a move aimed at easing rising tensions and addressing security concerns in Plateau State.
The visit comes amid national reactions to recent claims by Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who alleged that Christian communities in the Middle Belt were staging fake mass burials using empty coffins to mislead the international community.
The allegation triggered widespread outrage, including a strong rebuttal from Rev. Dachomo, who invited journalists to a mass grave site in Bindi-Jebbu, Riyom LGA to prove that the victims of recent attacks were real.
Essiet visited Dachomo, regional chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi, as well as Miyetti Allah representatives, traditional and community leaders during the two-day engagement.
Dachomo and Essiet discussed how faith-based leadership can promote peace, unity, and social development.
Dachomo reportedly restated his community’s readiness to defend the truth regarding the mass grave in Bindi-Jebbu.
