The family of Jude Nnam, a well-known Christian music composer, has said he is still in captivity.
This comes after false rumours spread on social media claiming he had been released.
In a statement, the family clarified the situation:
“Dear Friends of Dr. Jude Nnam.
“We want to appreciate you all for your prayers and concern for Him.
“Meanwhile, the message circulating on 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.”
Beyond Boders recalls that Jude Nnam, popularly called “Ancestor,” was kidnapped on Thursday evening in Umunnachi, Anambra State. He had traveled there for a church event.
Nnam is the National Music Director for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and a member of the National Liturgical Commission at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria.
The family continues to ask for prayers as they hope for his safe return.
