A Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Bobbo Paschal, has been abducted by gunmen following an overnight attack on Kushe Gugdu in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Fr. Paschal, who serves as Parish Priest of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, Kushe Gugdu, was taken from his residence in the early hours of Monday, November 17, 2025, according to a statement issued by the Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Kaduna, Rev. Fr. Christian Okewu Emmanuel.
The attackers also kidnapped several other residents during the raid and killed the brother of another priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Yero.
The Archdiocese has called on Nigerians to join in praying for the safe release of all abducted victims and for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
“We call on all men and women of goodwill to join us in praying for their safety and quick release from the hands of their abductors, and for the peaceful repose of the dead,” the Chancellor said.
Security operatives have yet to issue a statement on the attack.
