Friday, April 25, 2025 - The Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan has confirmed the release of Rev Fr Ibrahim Amos.
The priest was kidnapped from his residence by bandits in
the early hours of Thursday.
Amos is the Parish Priest of St. Gerald Quasi Parish, Kurmin
Risga in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
In a statement, Rev Fr Jacob Shanet, Chancellor of the
Kafanchan Diocese, said the kidnapped priest returned home unharmed at about
10pm on Thursday.
Shanet thanked security agencies and members of the public
for their prayers and overwhelming show of concern following the priest’s
abduction.
“Your 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,” he said.
