| #Endsars Looting. |
Ezekiel Dachomo is a famous man of God across the northern region of Nigeria, where he is reputed to be fearless and fascinating preacher, a “reincarnation” of Late Evangelist Paul Gindiri.
When #ENSARS protest spun out of control towards the
end of 2020, embittered rioters turned their attention to public warehouses
across the country. In Jos, Plateau State, it wasn’t different. People flocked
out in thousands to the different warehouses across the state, carting away
grains, fertilizers/agricultural inputs like water pumps, generators and
knapsacks. There were also relief materials that included building materials
like cement, roofing sheets, nails, woods. The looters, not satisfied, moved on
to dismantling office buildings, pulling off doors, windows, roofing sheets,
office equipment like computers and stereo sets.
Such a moment provided an opportunity for the real
Christians to be separated from the dredges. The real Christians stayed at
home, while the modern-day Pharisees joined hoodlums so that the two sides
found a common ground. As the saying goes, birds of the same feathers flock
together.
A few weeks later, Ezekiel Dachomo held a crusade at
Zang Secondary Commercial School playground. The football and basketball
pitches of the famous school overflowed with crusaders that had come to listen
to the evangelist. The man of God preached fiercely against the ambiguity
between the Christians and the heathen, which played out during the looting. He
noted that anyone that claims to be a Christian shouldn’t have been seen at any
of those warehouses, making it clear that it was stealing, which isn’t expected
of a Christian.
In the end, thousands who had taken part in the
lootings asked to be forgiven. Many returned what they had taken out of the
warehouses. Others, who had used the items promised to buy and return them.
