Southern Kaduna Worshippers: 5-months in Captivity

Amnesty International is deeply concerned that the 37 people abducted in raids on churches during Easter Sunday worship on 5 April 2026 are still in captivity. The incident which happened in Ariko community of Kachia LGA southern Kaduna state is just one of many instances demonstrating the utter failure of Nigerian authorities to protect the people.

Three of the 11 people abducted from Awon community have died in captivity this week. A woman Joy Samuel died on 28 August, after giving birth in a deplorable condition. The baby she delivered also died. Mr. Yusuf Bawa 34, and his 5-year-old son have also died as a result of severe illness and hunger. Deaths and severe illness these people are facing in captivity show the atrocities they are being subjected to.

While in captivity, the abducted persons are always repeatedly threatened to be killed, starved, women and girls raped, beaten and dehumanized in so many ways.

Recurring attacks, abductions for ransom, and killings are continuing to make life a hell in many parts of southern Kaduna. A climate of fear is affecting agricultural activities, education and other aspects of social lives of the people.

The Nigerian government must deliver on its national and international human rights obligations by immediately redoubling efforts to ensure the safe release and return of not only the 37 worshippers abducted in Kachia LGA, but also all people held captive by gunmen across Nigeria.

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

The Times, our most dishonest newspaper, is quietly rewriting the history of its contemptible coverage of Professor Jason Arday.

There’s a rich and rather horrible irony in the fact of a newspaper, which reprehensibly suggests that being dishonest is inherent in Blackness, itself being caught out in dishonesty.
Please share.

President Tinubu has signed the Electoral Act 2026, and it removes certificate forgery as a ground for challenging election results at tribunals. Politicians can no longer be disqualified over fake credentials. But for hardworking Nigerians, submitting a fake certificate means job loss, blacklisting, and prosecution. For the political class, the rules are different. A double standard has been written into law, and the 2027 elections will be contested under this new reality.

AN ADDRESS TO THE WORLD

Today, August 14, 2026, I stand before the world with a heart that is both grateful and broken.

Today, we concluded the second batch of our feeding and care outreach for widows.

As I looked into the faces of these women, I saw more than widows. I saw mothers trying to remain strong for their children. I saw women carrying wounds that cannot be seen. I saw families whose lives changed forever because someone they loved never came home.

One painful reality must be understood:

100% of the widows we are caring for lost their husbands through violence.

They did not choose widowhood. They did not ask to raise their children alone. They did not ask for this burden.

Some once had husbands who worked, farmed, provided for their families, prayed with them, and held their children in their arms.

Today, those husbands are gone.

The chairs they once occupied are empty. Their voices are silent. Their children now have memories where they once had fathers.

Yet these women continue to wake up every morning.

They pray.
They care for their children.
They keep going.
They continue to believe that God has not forgotten them.

And that is why we cannot forget them either.

What we are doing is more than giving food for one day. Our desire is to continue feeding these widows, supporting their children, helping them rebuild their lives, and reminding them that they are not abandoned.

James 1:27 reminds us that caring for widows and orphans is part of pure religion before God.

This is not charity to us.

This is obedience.
This is love.
This is ministry.

To every widow we served today: You are not forgotten.

Your husband’s death did not erase your worth. Your tears are not invisible to God. Your children’s cries are not unheard in heaven.

God sees you.

Psalm 68:5 calls God the defender of widows. If God has called Himself their defender, then His people must not turn away from them.

To everyone watching from another country, city, or continent, please understand: these are not statistics.

They are mothers.
They are sisters.
They are daughters.
They are human beings created in the image of God.

When you help a widow, you are telling her that her life still matters.

When you help her children, you are telling them they have not been forgotten.

When you pray for them, you stand with them before God.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this second outreach possible.

May God bless every hand that gave, every heart that prayed, and everyone who has stood with these families.

But our mission is not finished.

We will continue to care for widows.
We will continue to feed the hungry.
We will continue to stand with orphaned children.
We will continue to pray.

Their story did not end with tragedy.

There is still hope.
There is still God.
There is still love.
There is still a Church that cares.

To every widow, I say:

We see you.
We hear you.
We love you.
We are praying for you.

And by the grace of God,

WE WILL NOT ABANDON YOU.

Other Faces Of The Lynch Mob

Sonia Sodha’s greatest trick is condemning the weaponisation of tragedy while helping weaponise a campaign against Dr Jason Arday: when the press stops interrogating power and starts manufacturing guilt, the byline becomes part of the mob, and calling it journalism doesn’t make it any less rotten.

[Save Our Citizenships @LetsStopC9]

The Eugenicist Behind The Pile-On

Nathan Cofnas should never have been treated as a neutral source: a man publicly associated with hereditarianism and race-realist claims about Black academics became a source for attacks on Dr Jason Arday, while sections of Britain’s political media quietly buried the most glaring conflict of interest. It’s whiteness protecting whiteness.

[Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0]

I honestly don’t know how to write this without sounding broken.

I am Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, and I just want to ask you to please remember the people who have been killed in Nigeria.

Please don’t let their names become just another statistic.

Behind every death is a family. A father who won’t come home. A mother whose children will never hear her voice again. A husband who told his wife he would be back. A child who is now growing up without a parent.

Some families went to sleep expecting a normal day. They woke up to gunshots, destruction and the worst news anyone can receive.

Today, some homes have empty chairs.

Some children are asking questions nobody knows how to answer.

Some widows are wondering how they will feed their children tomorrow.

Some communities are still burying their loved ones while the rest of the world has already moved on to the next story.

I know it is easy to scroll past these stories when they are happening somewhere far away.

But imagine it was your family.

Imagine getting that phone call.

Imagine standing beside the grave of someone you spoke to, prayed with, ate with and loved just days before.

Wouldn’t you want someone to remember them?

Wouldn’t you want someone to pray for you?

Wouldn’t you want someone to simply say, “You are not alone”?

That is why I keep speaking.

Not because I have all the answers, but because I refuse to forget.

Please pray for Nigeria.

Pray for the widows and orphans.

Pray for the wounded.

Pray for families who have lost everything.

Pray for the communities living in fear.

Pray for those working to protect innocent people.

And pray for peace.

The Bible says, “Mourn with those who mourn.”

So today, I mourn with them.

And I ask you to mourn with them too.

To every family that has buried someone they love: we have not forgotten you.

To every child who has lost a parent: you are not forgotten.

To every widow trying to figure out how to face tomorrow: you are not forgotten.

And to everyone reading this, please do one thing for me:

Remember them when you pray tonight.

May God comfort the brokenhearted, protect the innocent, bring peace to Nigeria and give strength to everyone carrying this pain.

A Humble Prayer Request from the Mission Field

Dear beloved brethren in Christ,

If you are reading this message today, I ask you with all my heart to pause for just a moment and whisper a prayer for me, my team, and every missionary and evangelist who is tirelessly proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, especially here in Northern Nigeria.

Every day we walk into villages where fear has become a way of life. We have comforted widows whose husbands were murdered for their faith, prayed with children who have become orphans overnight, and stood beside believers who have lost everything except their hope in Christ. Many times we travel knowing that we may not return home. Yet we continue, because the love of Christ compels us.

There are nights when the sound of gunfire echoes through our communities, and there are days when the burden feels almost too heavy to carry. But in those moments, we remember the words of our Lord:

> "I will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5

That promise gives us the strength to keep going.

Please pray that the Lord will surround us with His divine protection, fill us with unwavering courage, and grant us His grace and mercy as we continue to preach His Gospel. Pray that every missionary on the frontlines will remain faithful, joyful, and steadfast, no matter the cost.

The enemies of the Gospel may try to silence us through persecution, violence, and intimidation, but they cannot stop the work of God.

As the Apostle Paul declared:

> "The word of God is not bound." — 2 Timothy 2:9

By His grace, we will continue to carry the Good News to the ends of the earth until every heart has the opportunity to hear the saving name of Jesus Christ.

Please do not forget us in your prayers. Your prayers strengthen weary hands, encourage discouraged hearts, and remind us that we are not standing alone.

May the Lord bless you abundantly for remembering those who serve on the mission field.

In Christ alone,

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo

To the world

My name is Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo and today I speak not with hatred but with a heart full of pain and faith

A few days ago Fulani herdsmen sent a threatening letter to me and to members of my church

The letter was written in both Hausa and English and its message was terrifying

They vowed to attack me and kill me soon just as they killed nine of my relatives

Copies of these threatening letters have already been handed over to the security operatives

Many people have asked me if I am afraid

My answer is no

I am not afraid because my life is in the hands of Almighty God

The Bible says in Psalm 118:6

The Lord is on my side I will not fear What can man do unto me

I know what it means to bury those I love

I know what it means to wipe the tears of children who watched their parents murdered

I know what it means to stand before grieving families whose only crime was refusing to deny Jesus Christ

Now they say I will be next

But I ask the world

What is my crime

Is my crime that I speak for widows who have no voice

Is my crime that I cry for orphaned children whose parents were murdered

Is my crime that I tell the stories of persecuted Christians in Nigeria so the world will not forget them

Is my crime that I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and refuse to remain silent while innocent people are killed

If that is my crime then I will continue until my last breath

Jesus Himself warned us in John 15:20

If they persecuted Me they will also persecute you

I did not choose this path because it is safe

I chose it because truth must never bow before terror

They may threaten my life but they cannot silence the truth

They may kill the messenger but they cannot kill the message

Romans 8:35 says

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword

The answer is no

Nothing can separate us from His love

Today I ask the world not to look away

Remember the widows

Remember the orphans

Remember the innocent Christians who continue to suffer simply because of their faith

Stand with us in prayer

Stand with us in truth

Stand with us in demanding justice for every innocent life

And if one day my voice is silenced let the world remember that I never carried a weapon

My only weapon was the truth

My only mission was to defend the persecuted

My only desire was to let the world know that the blood of innocent people cries out before God

As Paul declared in 2 Timothy 4:7

I have fought the good fight I have finished the race I have kept the faith

May God strengthen every persecuted believer

May He comfort every grieving family

And may the light of Christ shine even in the darkest valleys until justice and peace prevail
