Christian Hostages Taken Amid Kaduna Church Attacks
Faith Facts
- Fulani militants kidnapped 177 Christians from churches in Kaduna, Nigeria.
- At least 166 believers remain missing after the Sunday morning attacks.
- A slain Anglican priest’s wife and daughter were recently freed from captivity.
Faithful Christians in Kaduna, Nigeria, faced horrific persecution as armed Fulani militants stormed three churches, abducting entire congregations and disrupting Sunday worship. Reports show government attempts to stifle news, but local leaders confirm the truth of these ongoing attacks on believers.
Victims testified to the terror that struck two Cherubim and Seraphim churches and an Evangelical Church Winning All Sunday school, with 177 worshippers initially taken and only eleven eventually escaping captivity.
“We were in church worshipping when Fulani terrorists emerged from three directions,” testified Yunana Dauji, a church secretary. “They were armed with AK-47 rifles and surrounded the church. They warned that anyone who tried to run would be shot.”
The invaders, self-identified as Fulani, forced Christians from church buildings into the wilderness, holding them under threat of violence. Authorities, who first denied the kidnappings, have since acknowledged the devastating assault after facts were verified by security personnel.
Only days before, God answered prayers for another suffering family. The wife and daughter of a murdered Anglican priest, Reverend Edwin Achi, were rescued after months in bondage. Local church members praised the Lord for their deliverance and prayed for comfort.
“Lord we are grateful for their safe return after spending three months in captivity,” shared Kate Ebere, a church member. “It’s my prayer that God continue to console the Achi’s family, Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, and entire Anglican communion. And, may the soul of Ven. Edwin Achi continue to rest in peace.”
The local governor pledged ongoing care and support for these victims, recognizing their suffering and the need for healing. Violence against Christians remains severe in Nigeria, with Fulani militants and bandits responsible for the deaths of thousands in recent years, far surpassing other extremist groups.
Now more than ever, people of faith must lift up persecuted Christians, call for truth, and stand united in defending the God-given right to worship freely. Pray for the captives, their families, and for the restoration of safety and hope in Nigeria.

In the 2026 State of the Union, President Trump spotlighted protecting children from radical gender procedures lacking family approval.
This aligns with God’s design in Genesis 1:27, affirming male and female creation.
Trump stated plainly during the address.
“We will protect our children from this radical ideology. No state will be allowed to take kids from loving parents and push them into irreversible procedures.”
Republicans rose in applause, but Democrats stayed seated, prompting Trump’s retort: “These people are crazy.”
Such division echoes Proverbs 22:6, urging parents to train children in godly ways against state interference.
California’s AB 1955 hides school transitions from families, defying majority sentiment.
Rasmussen polls show 58% reject all minor transition procedures, prioritizing innocence.
Once parody on SNL, today’s practices betray biblical family values and patriotic freedoms.
Defend God’s order for children; urge Congress to pass parental rights protections today.

- Daughter retracted accusations, no abuse found, but girls remain in foster homes despite desiring reunion and facing health issues.
- European Court of Human Rights dismissed appeal, citing unexhausted Swedish remedies; authorities cited weekly church attendance as extremism evidence.
A Swedish couple’s nightmare continues as government overreach tears their family apart, punishing faithful parenting rooted in Christian values.
Daniel and Bianca Samson can visit their daughters only once monthly under supervision, even after clear investigations.
Swedish social services confirmed the parents’ fitness post-training, yet the state clings to its interference.
“Parents have the primary responsibility and right to raise their children. When the state interferes with family life based on values-based parenting choices or discrimination on the basis of faith, fundamental freedoms are at stake.”
“We deeply regret the court’s decision to reject this case, considering that this family has been torn apart for over three years despite a full investigation that cleared Mr. and Mrs. Samson of any abuse and the fact that the social services certified their capacity and fitness for parenting after they successfully completed an official training.”
“Families should be free to live according to their convictions without fear of losing their children to the state.”
Stand firm for biblical family rights and religious liberty—pray for the Samsons, support parents’ God-given authority, and join Faith and Freedom Report in defending freedom.
