Gunmen Abduct Gospel Singer Jude Nnam

November 17, (THEWILL) – The family of Jude Nnam, a music composer and gospel singer, has confirmed his abduction.

Nnam, better known as Ancestor, was said to have been kidnapped on Friday evening in Umunnachi, Anambra.

Augustine Mario, a Catholic priest, first broke the news on Facebook on Saturday, requesting prayers for Nnam’s safety and quick release.

“Please kindly keep Sir Dr Jude Nnam, aka Ancestor in your prayers. He was allegedly kidnapped yesterday evening around 6 pm, in Umunnachi, Anambra State”, Augustine Mario revealed.

“Sir Jude Nnam is the CAN National Music Director and Member of the National Liturgical Commission, CSN.

“May God grant him safety and quick release from his abductors. Amen.”

On Sunday, Nnam’s family confirmed his abduction in a post dispelling rumours about his release.

The family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and concern, pleading for continued support and prayers for a positive outcome.

“Dear Friends of Dr Jude Nnam. We want to appreciate you all for your prayers and concern for Him.

“Meanwhile, the message circulating the social media that he has been released by his captors is false and misleading. He is still with the abductors.

“By the Grace of God we all shall rejoice when he eventually comes out. Do continue in your prayers and support. God bless you. From his Family.”

Nnam serves as the national music director for the National Catholic Liturgical Music Council in Nigeria.

In September, he lost a copyright infringement lawsuit against singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, aka Kcee and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, aka E-Money.
