Priest abducted as gunmen attack Kaduna village again

Suspected bandits have killed three people and abducted a Catholic priest along with 10 others during a fresh attack in a Kaduna State community.

The incident occurred in Karku community of Kauru Local Government Area.

The abducted priest is Rev. Fr. Nathaniel Asuwaye of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Karku.

In a statement on Saturday, the Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Rev. Fr. Jacob Shanet, said residents described the attackers as terrorists who came in an organised manner and overran the community.

The statement confirmed that three residents lost their lives in the attack. They were named as Mr. Jacob Dan’azumi, Mr. Maitala Kaura, and Alhaji Kusari. Several other people were also taken away by the attackers.

According to the diocese, the attack took place in the early hours of Saturday. It said the incident occurred at about 3:20 am (WAT), at the priest’s residence.

Rev. Fr. Asuwaye is the parish priest of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Karku, under the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan.

The diocese expressed sadness over the incident and appealed for prayers for those abducted.

It urged priests, Christians, and people of goodwill to pray for the victims’ safe return.

The statement also asked for prayers for those who died in the attack and remembered them in faith.

In addition, the diocese said it was placing the victims in prayer and called for unity and continued support as insecurity continues to affect parts of Kaduna State.

I think it's high time the federal and state governments start allowing citizens to arm and protect themselves. Infact, if possible, arm citizens for self protection with proper inventory. This madness can only stop with that.

The motorcycles don't fly. If citizens are armed, as they're moving to their target, they will meet resistance from people with rifles, sniping them in transit and putting them in disarray from a safe distance.

That's if the villagers have Intel about the attack before it happens right?

In the recent Kwara attack, the news was that those islamists stormed the village, went to the houses of each and every vigilante in the area and murdered them. Who gave Intel about the location of the vigilantes, the locals.

If these people are truly covered by the blood of Jesus, and if their religious belief system is genuinely rooted in the worship of the one true God through obedience to His laws, statutes, and commandments why do they continue to be overrun, destroyed, and taken captive by evil bandit forces?

Did God not promise that those who put their trust in Him would be kept from evil, that calamity would not overtake them, and that the righteous would not be handed over to the wicked? Scripture itself declares that when the righteous fall before the wicked, it is like a polluted spring or a raging, contaminated sea. That failure signals disorder, not divine faithfulness.

Should we not, then, reexamine the very foundation the genesis of what we now call Christianity? Should we not ask at what point we fell away from truth? Modern Christianity has largely abandoned the laws, statutes, and commandments of God and replaced them with Greek philosophy, Roman imperial doctrine, European traditions, and carefully curated fables. In doing so, it stripped itself of spiritual authority and divine protection.

This distortion was not accidental. The same colonizers who imposed this version of religion were diligent in ensuring it kept us spiritually disarmed obedient in form, but powerless in substance so they could continue to usurp authority and rule over us. A faith detached from obedience cannot produce protection. And a religion divorced from truth will always leave its followers exposed.

Christians and churches of Nigeria today are a disgrace and disappointment to the name of Christ.
Real Christians are expected to wage sustained pressure on the powers that be for these reoccurring unprovoked persecution and killings of believers across the land. But no, as long as the killings are perceived as far away, their businesses continue as usual!
