Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Plateau State, has boldly declared that he has taken the Nigerian government to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in heaven over the alleged genocide of Christians in the state, specifically in Barkin Ladi local government area.

In a recent statement, the outspoken cleric revealed that heavenly courts have begun addressing the issue, with former U.S. President Donald Trump playing a pivotal role in the proceedings. Dachomo emphasized that divine justice was being enacted, with angels working through Trump’s influence at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to ensure accountability.

Earlier in 2025, Rev. Dachomo had threatened to take legal action against the Nigerian government over the continuous attacks on Christians and the destruction of churches in the Middle Belt region, particularly since 2010. He claimed to have compiled a detailed list of Christian fatalities and attacks on churches and planned to present it to both the ICC and the U.S. government to demand action.

“I have already reported the case to the court in heaven,” Dachomo declared in a video shared by a conflict journalist on Wednesday. “Very soon, all those involved in the genocide will never know peace in their lives. God is working through Trump and the International Court of Justice to release justice for Nigeria.”

The cleric’s comments come amidst ongoing controversy over the genocide claims, with some officials, including those within the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), denying that genocide is occurring in the country. In response, Dachomo asserted that he is determined to prove that the government’s stance on the matter is false.

He added, “The world needs to know that what we are saying is not false. I will go to any length to prove that this government is lying. The Federal Government claimed there was no genocide, and that statement has pushed me to intensify this work. CAN is also denying the genocide, so I’m determined to prove them wrong.”

Rev. Dachomo’s comments have stirred reactions among both religious and political circles, with some supporting his call for justice while others question the validity of his claims.
