Oyo: Reports say terrorists killed him after seeing a photo of him with a Bible on his phone – Dachomo

A Plateau-based Nigerian cleric, Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, has reacted to the killing of a mathematics teacher in Oyo State by terrorists, after they reportedly discovered a Bible-related image on his phone while he was in captivity.

In a post shared on X, Dachomo described the victim who was among those abducted last week in some schools in Oyo as a dedicated educator who devoted his life to teaching children and shaping their future through education.

“This man was a mathematics teacher in Nigeria. Not a fighter. Not a criminal. Not a threat to anyone,” Dachomo wrote.

“He was a simple man who dedicated his entire life to teaching children. Every morning he walked into a classroom carrying books, lessons, and dreams for the future of young students. He spent years helping children understand numbers, solve problems, and believe they could become something great in life.”

According to the cleric, the teacher was abducted alongside more than 100 innocent people and fellow teachers during a terrorist attack.

“He was the kind of teacher parents trusted with their children. The kind of man students respected and loved. A man whose hands were made for writing on blackboards, not for carrying weapons,” he added.

Dachomo lamented the worsening insecurity in the country, saying even teachers were no longer safe in Nigeria.

“But in today’s Nigeria, even a teacher is no longer safe,” he stated.
