Gunmen Strike Again: ECWA Board Chairman Abducted In Plateau

Gunmen have abducted a senior cleric of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) and Chairman of its Board of Trustees, Rev. Prof. Sunday B. Agang, in Plateau State.

According to Ireporter Online, the cleric was reportedly kidnapped in the early hours of the day from his residence in the Farin Gida area of Jos by unidentified assailants. The incident has heightened concerns within the Christian community and beyond.

The abduction was disclosed through a message circulated on the church’s official communication platform, which informed members of the development and called for urgent prayers for his safe return. The message expressed deep sorrow over the incident, noting that the respected cleric, who previously served as Provost of the Jos ECWA Theological Seminary, was taken unexpectedly.

Church leadership has since appealed to believers and well-wishers to intercede fervently for his protection and swift release, expressing confidence in divine intervention during the crisis. Members were further encouraged with a biblical reassurance emphasizing faith and resilience in times of distress.

The incident adds to a troubling pattern of attacks targeting religious figures, as reports indicate that eight members of the ECWA church were also abducted in Kwara State just days earlier, raising fresh concerns over security challenges affecting faith-based communities.
