Nigerian composer Jude Nnam, kidnapped in Anambra

Famous Nigerian Christian music composer Jude Nnam, widely known as “Ancestor,” has reportedly been kidnapped

Nnam, who serves as the National Music Director for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and is a member of the National Liturgical Commission of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN), was allegedly abducted on Thursday evening around 6 p.m. in Umunnachi, Anambra State

The composer had traveled to Anambra for a church event.

Rev. Fr. Augustine Mario, a Catholic priest, broke the news on his Facebook page on Friday, urging for prayers:

“Please kindly keep Sir Dr. Jude Nnam (Ancestor) in your prayers. He was allegedly kidnapped yesterday evening around 6 p.m. in Umunnachi, Anambra State. Sir Jude Nnam is the CAN National Music Director and Member of the National Liturgical Commission, CSN, etc. May God grant him safety and quick release from his abductors. Amen.”

Another Catholic priest, sharing his concern on Facebook, expressed frustration with the situation, writing:

“If this is true, then it is a huge shame. I’m simply tired of this unfortunate space called Nigeria. Why this type of pain and frustration now? Anyway, I just hope this isn’t true. Jude Nnam Ancestor! It is well.”

The celebrated music icon, who recently marked his 50th birthday, had also ministered at the “Unusual Praise 2024” event held at the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity in Onitsha just last week.
