An unbelievable confession has rocked the religious space as Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo of the Church of Christ in Nations openly admitted to participating in a bank robbery in 1980 in Jos, Plateau State.
In a revealing interview with a foreign media outlet, the cleric disclosed that he was part of a gang that carried out the operation and escaped with a huge sum of money, noting that the robbery was masterminded by his close friend at the time.
But in a twist that has left many stunned, Dachomo said his life took a radical turn following a powerful spiritual encounter he described as a battle between divine forces and dark powers.
“He came to my room while I was sleeping. I didn’t know that I was operating with 14 demons until Jesus encountered me.
“That night there was war. He came with seven angels. I was just an observer, seeing the drama that is being done in my life. Jesus ordered the seven angels to strike the enemy.
“In fact, they were killed instantly. I took the covers of those images that were killed and I covered myself as if I’m dead. But the master Jesus said there was somebody that we had not killed.
“Go, fish him out. When they were coming, booting other corpses, then I had to stand up and began to beg. I was asking for forgiveness. Forgive me, forgive me. I will never do that again,” he said.
The cleric did not shy away from his past, bluntly confirming his role in the high-profile robbery.
“Because I went in 1980, it was our gang that robbed a bank in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. 1980, they made away with a lot of money. It was my best friend that led the operation.”
He maintained that the encounter marked the end of his old life, describing it as a moment of divine intervention that broke his former habits and redirected his path.
According to him: “The encounter marked a turning point in his life. I didn’t know that I would come and encounter God and God really helped me. That day that I encountered Jesus, I went outside. I tried my best to smoke a cigarette or cool it. The power of smoking was broken in my life.”
