American fact-finder Mayor Mike Arnold, invited by Reno Omokri to defend the Nigerian Government led by President Bola Ahmed tinubu and debunk Christian genocide in Nigeria, has turned against him, calling him a hypocrite, liar, spinner and Nigeria’s propaganda minister.
Mayor Arnold made the remarks in a series of tweets on “X”, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
Arnold blasted Omokri for obfuscating Christian genocide facts in Nigeria, exposed subterfuges and said categorically that the report confirmed Christian genocide in the country.
Trouble started when Omokri falsely claimed that he, Arnold, “debunked” Christian genocide in Nigeria during a media presentation made at Abuja Hilton Hotel on Tuesday, October 14, reported by Diaspora Digital Media (DDM).
During the presentation, the fact-finding team from the United States concluded that Christian genocide is going on in Nigeria.
The founder of Africa Arise International and Africa Arise USA and Mayor of the City of Blanco, Texas, Arnold, presented a “Formal Statement on Widespread Violence and Displacement in Nigeria“.
He observed that Nigeria’s stability was shattered in 2014 in the events surrounding the 2015 election of Muhammadu Buhari.
He further observed that foreign meddling, including U.S. involvement, enabled regime change that emboldened actors who ignored or enabled extremist violence.
He also noted that the campaign of violence and displacement in Northern and Middle Belt Nigeria constitutes a calculated, current and long-running genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
Omokri spins his report
To his chagrin, however, Omokri claimed that Arnold “debunked” Christian genocide in Nigeria, when actually his report confirmed it.
The American factfinder went livid at Omokri’s betrayal and exposed the propaganda scheme that twisted his Christian genocide report.
He called him all sorts of names, including “liar”, “Propagandist”, “Betrayer”, “Hypocrite”, “Joseph Goebbels”, etc.
(Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician, propagandist, and one of Adolf Hitler’s closest associates, who served as the Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.)
“Under Buhari Reno Omokri called it Christian genocide”
Arnold further accused Omokri of betraying Leah Sharibu and “selling [his] soul for influence”.
Taking to his “X” handle, @MikeArnoldTruth, Arnold went ballistic against Omokri.
He wrote: “Under Buhari Reno Omokri called it Christian genocide. Now he calls it a hoax.
“From prophet to genocide propagandist—he’s flipped on the martyrs he once mourned.
“In 2017, Reno spoke like a man of conscience. He exposed Fulani extremists. He warned of the bloodshed.
“He called it what it was: genocide. And he begged the world to act.
“Now, in 2025, he denies the very truth he once shouted.
“And today—while I was flying home from a press conference to stand with the persecuted—Reno twisted my presence into a headline that says I helped him “debunk” the genocide.
“Let me be clear: he lied. Again. Publicly. Boldly. Blasphemously.
“I did not come to support Reno. I did not stand beside him. I stood beside the slain.
“And I will not let their blood be erased by a man chasing political favor.
“Reno blames Peter Obi for international outcry, as if one man’s layover in D.C. hypnotized Republicans, Democrats, NGOs, and global Christian watchdogs to all cry “genocide” in unison.
“It’s nonsense. And worse—it’s evil. What would Leah Sharibu say? This is not evolution. This is betrayal.
“This is not “strategy.” This is selling your soul for influence.
“And for what? Another chance to sit close to the throne and whisper lies?
“Let the record be clear: Reno Omokri has become Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels—weaponizing language to sanitize slaughter.
“Not just tolerating evil—but dressing it in church clothes.”
“Woe” to Reno Omokri
A visibly Arnold went further to declare “woe” against Omokri for ‘calling evil good and good evil’, citing the Biblical book of Isaiah 5:20.
He stated: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)
“Reno, there is still time to repent. But the hour is late. And the stain is deep.
“If you continue lying in the face of martyrdom, the world may forget. But heaven won’t.
“And neither will those who buried their pastors, their children, their congregations—while you smiled for cameras.
“I came to Nigeria to speak the truth. You tried to hijack it. Now I’m here to expose the lie.”
Arnold made further posts wherein he called Omokri “Sleazy” and “Pathological liar”.
He regretted that Omokri will go down in history as “the Joseph Goebbels of the Nigerian Christian Genocide”.
He once again denied his paid “reporters” saying that he, Arnold “debunked” claims of genocide.
