Tensions flared dramatically this evening as Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo issued a bold and emotionally charged rebuttal to Sheikh Gumi during a visit to the burial site of 27 Christians.
The graves, located in a community still reeling from recent violence, became the centre of a heated exchange over the authenticity of the burials.
In a statement that quickly spread across social media, Reverend Dachomo declared:
The confrontation occurred as Sheikh Gumi arrived at the site, reportedly questioning the narrative surrounding the mass burial.
Reverend Dachomo, visibly incensed, called on national and international media outlets to visit the graves and verify the truth for themselves.
The incident underscores growing frustration among local Christian communities, who feel their suffering has been minimised or denied. The reverend’s remarks have sparked renewed calls for transparency, justice, and accountability in the wake of escalating sectarian tensions.
Local authorities have yet to issue an official response, but community leaders are urging calm while demanding independent investigations into the events that led to the mass burial.
