“Christians Abducted in Nigeria”
24 March 2026
The Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem conveys her profound grief following the wave of kidnappings targeting the Christian faithful in Nigeria on Sunday, the Day of the Lord.
On 22 March, gunmen raided two churches in the Oro-Ago community (Ifelodun County, Kwara State) during Sunday service, seizing nine worshippers, among whom was the wife of Pastor Samuel Adeoye.
The Church extends her heartfelt solidarity to the victims and their families, raising a solemn plea to God the Father to protect His children during this time of trial.
“And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time”.
(Mt 28:20)
