Facebook’s recent decision to delete the account of Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a preacher who courageously exposed the ongoing Christian genocide in Nigeria, is a blatant act of censorship and injustice. The platform’s claim that his content “threatens national security” is both unfounded and hypocritical, especially when compared to the fact that terrorists and their enablers in Nigeria, such as Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, who has openly supported insurgents, remain active on Facebook without consequence.
This stark double standard reveals a troubling bias: a preacher who speaks out against atrocities is silenced, while those who incite and perpetuate violence go unpunished. By deleting Rev. Dachomo’s account, Facebook not only silences a voice for the oppressed but also undermines the fight against religious persecution. The decision raises serious questions about the platform’s commitment to free speech, human rights, and the protection of marginalized communities.
Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg must be held accountable for this gross miscarriage of justice and must ensure that their platform is not used to enable the very forces of violence and extremism that Rev. Dachomo is bravely trying to expose.
