 Kidnapped Kaduna Catholic Priest Regains Freedom After Three Months In Captivity


The Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan in Southern Kaduna has confirmed the release of Rev. Fr. Nathaniel Asuwaye, who was kidnapped in February 2026.


In a statement issued on May 12, 2026, the diocesan chancellor, Very Rev. Fr. Jacob Shanet, announced that the priest regained his freedom after spending three months in captivity.


Fr. Asuwaye was abducted on February 7, 2026, when armed men suspected to be terrorists attacked his residence. The incident caused widespread concern among Catholics and residents of Southern Kaduna.


Reports stated that the priest was kidnapped alongside 10 parishioners from Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Karku, located in Kauru Local Government Area. 


Three people were reportedly killed during the attack.


According to the Diocese, Fr. Asuwaye is currently safe, stable, and receiving medical care.


The statement expressed gratitude to God and appreciated everyone who supported the Church through prayers and encouragement during the difficult period.


The Diocese also thanked Christians, religious leaders, and well-wishers for their solidarity and support while the priest remained in captivity.


Special prayer sessions and May devotions had been organised for his safe return.


Bishop Julius Yakubu Kundi of the Kafanchan Diocese described the support from the public as overwhelming and encouraging.


The Diocese further urged residents to stay united, vigilant, and prayerful amid the ongoing security challenges affecting Kaduna State and other parts of Nigeria.
