A Catholic priest alongside 10 of his parishioners has been kidnapped in northern Nigeria. During the attack, three parishioners were also killed. The attack took place at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Kafanchan Diocese at 3:20am Nigeria time.
The diocese announced with “profound sadness” that Rev. Fr Nathaniel Asuwaye was “kidnapped alongside ten other people at Karku, Kauru LGA of Kaduna State, Nigeria”. The statement continued that the abduction took place at his residence and that “the situation was described by the villagers as an act of invasion by a group of terrorists”.
