Another Catholic Priest identified as Rev Fr Emmanuel Silas was abducted in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State early hours of Monday.

Fr Silas, who is in charge of St. Charles Catholic Church, Zambina in Kauru LGA, was reported missing after he failed to appear for morning mass.

The Chancellor, Kafanchan Catholic Diocese, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Okolo disclosed the sad news in a statement on Monday.

He, however, urged the christian community to remain calm as legitimate processes are being exploited to ensure his safe and quick release.

Fr Okolo was quoted to have said in the statement: “It is with great pain that we announce to you the kidnapping of our Priest, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Silas. The sad event is believed to have occurred in the early hours of July 04, 2022, when he could not turn up for morning Mass.

“He was abducted from the parish rectory at St. Charles Catholic Church, Zambina, in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

“While we solicit for an intense prayer for his quick and safe release, we equally wish to call on all and sundry to refrain from taking the laws into their hands. We will use every legitimate means to ensure his quick and safe release.”


Lately bandits have been unleashing mayhem on christians in the state, mostly targeting catholic priests.

Barely two weeks ago, Reverend Father Vitus Borogo was killed and his brother abducted by bandits while working on his farm. He was laid to rest last week in the state capital.

Other Catholic priests were also kidnapped in Katsina, Edo among other states between last month and now, amidst rising spate of attacks on Christian community by the hoodlums in recent times.

Bandits in action, now why do I say this, in the south west the owo Catholic Church massacre, in the south south and north west priests are being kidnapped and murdered.

I feel all these are happening because of the outspokeness of Bishop kukah of the Catholic church, hence the targeting.

its too glaring for people not to figure it out

And one Foolish Pastor Adeboye said Christians Dont Need Guns.

The same Adeboye that walks around with Heavily Armed Security Men with Ak-47.

If e too sure for Pastor Adeboye make him waka alone iniside Kaduna without security.

Meanwhile, im expecting Pope and Vatican to start sending weapons to all Catholic priest in Nigeria.

No Time For Dulling...

Nobody should tell me this is not targeted.

If not show me any Imam or sheikh of a mosque which has been kidnapped and I will show you 10 catholic priests who have been killed.

They are instilling fear in Northern Christians

I pray APC picks El-Rufai as VP.

Makes PDP and LP have more chances

Fellow Nigerians , we don't need a soothsayer to tell us that the present government is helpless in this embarrassing state of insecurities plunging the supposed gaint of Africa. How can one explain a situation whereby gunmen and kidnappers are having a field day and even feasting on the security agencies themselves and all the president can do is to call meeting of security chiefs (initial gra gra) and nothing more. Can all these continue? Even you reading this, are you really safe where you are now? We need to change this so called change. We thought it was a real change , we didn't know it was a wayo change. They want us to continue with the change. God forbid.Let's make a HUGE statement come 2023. This one pass I am a Northerner, I am a Westerner, I am a Easterner, it's now a struggle for survival. Vote wisely. Get your PVC guys...

So why are priests suddenly endangered species? All over the country, bandits are targeting them. The Catholic Church should sit up and get the Holy See to sanction the Nigerian government.

Why is Catholic churches and priests are being target recently all of a sudden?

And y'all think criminal bandits recognize Catholics to non Catholics?



I suspect Protestant churches have something to do with it.
