Kidnapped Christian Music Composer Jude Nnam Regains Freedom After Nearly One Week in Captivity
Dr. Jude Nnam, a renowned Christian music composer and National Music Director for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has been released after spending nearly one week in the hands of his captors. His abduction occurred on Thursday evening around 6 pm in Umunnachi, Anambra State, as he was attending a church function. The news of his kidnapping shocked his fans and the Christian community, as Dr. Nnam is a well-respected figure, also serving as a member of the National Liturgical Commission at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN).
The release of Dr. Nnam was confirmed by his family through a post on his official Facebook page, which read: “The victory sound is here. Our dear ‘Ancestor’ Dr. (Sir) Jude Nnam is back to continue the work of the Lord!!!” This announcement came on Wednesday after he had been held captive for several days, leaving his loved ones and supporters anxiously awaiting his safe return.
The family had previously denied reports circulating on social media that suggested Dr. Nnam had already been released before the actual event. They clarified that these messages were false and misleading, further intensifying the relief felt when the truth came to light.
Dr. Nnam, often affectionately called “Ancestor” by his followers, is a prominent figure in the Nigerian Christian music scene. His abduction sparked widespread concern due to his influential role in the church and his dedication to spreading the gospel through music. As the National Music Director of CAN, his work has been vital in organizing and promoting Christian music events across Nigeria. Additionally, his involvement with the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) further solidified his status as a key figure in the Nigerian religious community.
The news of his release has been met with joy and gratitude by his fans, colleagues, and church members, who had been praying for his safe return. While the details of his captivity remain unclear, the fact that he has been freed safely has brought immense relief to all who were concerned for his well-being.
