#BreakingNews Kidnapped Catholic Missionary Priest Father Marcellus Nwaohuocha has been Released - Prayers Answered!

A Catholic priest named, Father Marcellus Nwaohuocha, a member of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI), was kidnapped on June 17th. This happened after gunmen attacked the parish he serves, St. Paul Bomo Parish in the Archdiocese of Jos, in central-northern Nigeria, Africa. On June 20th the Oblates announced that prayers were answered and he has been released but needed medical treatment due to injuries from tortures he received (UPDATE).
 OMI sources, asked for continued prayers since Father Nwaohuocha had to seek medical care. In a Sunday, June 18th, statement, the order’s superior in Nigeria, Father Peter Klaver, said Nwaohuocha was taken away after the gunmen "forcefully gained entry into the parish house". "The kidnappers also shot a security guard, who died on the way to the hospital". We recall that the kidnapping of Father Nwaohuocha is only the latest in a long series of kidnappings of priests in Nigeria. The phenomenon of kidnappings has become a real "industry" in the country, with people from different social backgrounds being kidnapped almost daily throughout the Federation.  (Sources: Fides and OMI)
