The Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ (ERCC) has expressed urgent concern over the abduction of its pastor, Rev. Monday Habu, in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area. The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, just three days after the release of another congregation member, Daniel Philip Affiku. ERCC condemned the abduction and demanded immediate action from the Nasarawa State Government and security agencies to secure the pastor's safe release.
The church highlighted a series of kidnappings in the community and warned of deteriorating security conditions, particularly along the Akwanga-Gudi road and in surrounding rural areas. The ERCC appealed to the abductors to release the pastor unharmed, emphasizing his commitment to serving the poor. The church affirmed its resolve to continue praying and demanding improved security, urging the state government to strengthen security surveillance and increase patrols.
Attempts to contact the Nasarawa State Police Command for confirmation of the abduction were unsuccessful.
