April 25, (THEWILL) – The abducted Parish Priest of St. Gerald Quasi Parish, Kurmin Risga in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Rev. Fr Ibrahim Amos, has regained freedom from his abductors.
Rev. Fr Amos was kidnapped from his residence by bandits in the early hours of Thursday.
In a statement on Friday, Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Rev. Fr Jacob Shanet, said Amos returned home unharmed at about 10pm on Thursday.
Commending security agencies and members of the public for their overwhelming show of concern, Shanet said their “kind gestures, love and prayers are a testament to the fact that we are not alone in the struggle to respect and promote the dignity of human life.
“While we appreciate God for everything, we equally want to thank everyone for walking and praying with us in such a dark and terrible moment.
“May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of priests, religious, and all the angels, intercede for those in captivity and bring them back to their families and communities safe and sound.”
