A Nigerian religious leader's social media presence has vanished after he testified about violence against Christians in his country. Ezekiel Dachomo, a Plateau State minister, confirmed to reporters that his Facebook account no longer exists following his appearances before American lawmakers and in conversations with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, where he described presiding over dozens of funeral ceremonies for attack victims.
The account deletion follows Washington's classification of Nigeria as a nation with serious religious freedom violations, a designation that Abuja disputes as based on inaccurate data. Nigerian officials recently traveled to America to challenge the assessment after Dachomo and others presented evidence of widespread killings targeting Christian communities in the country's Middle Belt region.
