Nigeria: A nervous journey for Michael Nadi, a medical student who was abducted and brutally murdered by a seminary in Nigeria, has passed away. Hundreds of people, including many bishops and clergy from different parts of Nigeria, tearfully attended the funeral service at the Good Shepherd Seminary campus in Kaduna. Michael, a third-year medical student, was only eighteen years old. Bishop Matthew Hassan, presiding diocese of Sokoto, delivered the message in the midst of the funeral service. He said the administration’s promises of peace and security in the country had become mere words and Michael’s tragic death was an example.
This death is expected to be a turning point for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. This is the moment that separates darkness from light and good from evil. Our country is like a ship that is in the high seas but looking for a wrong, uncontrollable, course. Hypocrisy, false piety, empty morality, and deceit are attracting us. In this context, the bishop called on the incident to be seen as a call to rise from torture and violence. The body of a Vedic student was found by police in the first week of this month.
