Islamic Terrorists Kidnap Four Nuns. Christian Leader Warns: “We Are Dealing Here With A Sustained Campaign To Wipe Out Christianity… No Christian Is Safe.”
Four nuns were kidnapped by Islamic terrorist in Nigeria. Johan Viljoen, director of the Denis Hurley Peace Institute (DHPI), a peace and justice organization of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC), stated: “We are dealing here with a sustained campaign to wipe out Christianity in general and the Catholic church in particular. No Christian is safe”. As we read in Crux:
Sisters Johannes Nwodo, Christabel Echemazu, Liberata Mbamalu and Benita Agu were freed unconditionally – meaning without the payment of a ransom – according to a statement issued Aug. 23 by members of the Sisters of Jesus the Savior (the Saviourite Sisters, or SJS) to which the nuns belong.
“With hearts full of joy, the Sisters of Jesus the Savior wish to announce the unconditional and safe release of four of our sisters who were abducted around Okigwe-Umulolo on the 21 of August 2022,” reads the statement signed by the director of the order, Sister Zita Ihedoro.
“Today is a memorable day for us, therefore we wish to share this joy with all men and women of goodwill who, in one way or the other, have contributed to the quick and safe release of our dear sisters,” the statement adds.

“I am shocked (at the spate of kidnappings) because I know many priests and religious in that part of the country,” Johan Viljoen, director of the Denis Hurley Peace Institute (DHPI), a peace and justice organization of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC), told Crux.
“We are dealing here with a sustained campaign to wipe out Christianity in general and the Catholic church in particular. No Christian is safe,” he said.
