A Baptist Church cleric, Pastor Daniel Bagama, and his three daughters have been abducted by bandits at Tudun Bussa village in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The Conference President of the Kaduna Baptist Conference, Rev. Ishaya Adamu Jangado, disclosed this in a letter copied to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), saying, “I write to inform you that bandits have abducted a Baptist Church Pastor, Pastor Daniel Bagama and his three daughters at Tudun Bussa village, Chikun local government area of Kaduna state.”

According to him, the incident occurred late on Sunday night, January 18, 2026, at about 11 pm, when the attackers stormed Tudun Bussa village in Chikun Local Government Area and abducted the victims.

As at the time of this report, there has been no official statement from the security agencies on the incident.

When contacted, the Kaduna State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. Caleb Ma’aji Bawa, confirmed the abduction of the pastor and his three daughters.

A source who spoke to DAILY POST explained that the attackers stormed the area and began shooting sporadically before heading to the pastor’s residence.

Efforts to contact the state police spokesperson, Mansir Hassan, for comments proved abortive as his phone could not be reached.
