A Nigerian cleric, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo has said Middle Belt Christian community is preparing to defend itself against threats from Islamist terrorists, who, according to him, vowed to resume attacks after Muslim’s annual fast, Ramadan.
Dachomo stated that previous attacks had left residents vulnerable, but this time, measures are being put in place to anticipate and respond to any attempts at violence.
He emphasized that communities cannot remain passive in the face of ongoing threats and must take steps to protect themselves.
“They said that after their fasting, they would come for us and resume the killings. but this time, we will be ready for them. they have already brought in more armed Fulani mercenaries from Sokoto and other states to fight and kill us.”
The cleric’s remarks highlight growing concerns over the security situation in regions affected by extremist attacks, and the need for proactive measures to safeguard civilians from further violence.
