The remaining 16 worshippers of the 40 that were abducted by bandits at Bege Baptist Church, Madala, near Buruku in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have finally regained their freedom.

About 40 worshippers during Sunday service on May 7, 2023, were abducted by bandits, but many miraculously returned home, leaving 16 others in the hands of their abductors.

Speaking on Monday, Rev John Joseph Hayab, the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), expressed gratitude to the Muslim community in the area, saying: “The Muslim community where the worshippers were abducted contributed money and bought a motorcycle as part of the ransom required for the release of their Christian brothers and sisters in captivity.”

Rev. Hayab added: “This goes to show good, caring, and sincere neighbours that practically showed concern for the plight of their brothers and sisters that were abducted and their sincere wish that they return home to live together with them in peace and harmony.”

According to the CAN chairman, the exemplary gesture of the Muslim community in Madala should be emulated by all in other parts of the state for a united and peaceful coexistence that is needed for the overall development of the state.

He said the Muslim community has shown that one does not need to be educated before doing the needful, pointing out that Nigerians from all walks of life should be their brothers’ keepers in order to eliminate all forms of insecurity in every part of the country.

Hayab explained that the 16 remaining abducted worshippers were released on Sunday, with many of them reunited with their families, while those with injuries are presently receiving treatment in a hospital.
