The family of Jude Nnam has confirmed the abduction of the Nigerian music composer and gospel singer.

Nnam, better known as Ancestor, was said to have been kidnapped on Friday evening in Umunnachi, Anambra.

Augustine Mario, a Catholic priest, first broke the news on Facebook on Saturday, requesting prayers for Nnam’s safety and quick release.

“Please kindly keep Sir Dr. Jude Nnam (Ancestor) in your prayers. He was allegedly kidnapped yesterday evening around 6 pm, in Umunnachi, Anambra State,” he wrote.

“Sir Jude Nnam is the CAN National Music Director and Member of the National Liturgical Commission, CSN.

“May God grant him safety and quick release from his abductors. Amen.”

On Sunday, Nnam’s family took to Facebook to confirm his abduction in a post dispelling rumours about his release.

The family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and concern, pleading for continued support and prayers for a positive outcome.

“Dear Friends of Dr. Jude Nnam. We want to appreciate you all for your prayers and concern for Him,” the post reads.

“Meanwhile, the message circulating the social media that he has been released by his captors is false and misleading. He is still with the abductors.

“By the Grace of God we all shall rejoice when he eventually comes out. Do continue in your prayers and support. God bless you. From his Family.”

Amadou ‘Jadrolita‘ Elizabeth, the TikToker and content creator, has undergone surgery to remove a tumour from her mouth.

Peller, a fellow content creator, shared an update on Jadrolita’s health on Instagram on Sunday.

He posted pictures of his partner presumably at the hospital with a bandage wrapped around her head.

In the caption, Peller, born Habeeb Hamzat, expressed gratitude for the success of the procedure and shared that she is recovering well.

“Thank you God for successful surgery. My baby is now getting better. God you are the greatest,” he wrote.

Chidimma Adetshina, the newly crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, has made history by becoming the first runner-up at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant.

The grand finale of the Miss Universe 2024 beauty pageant ended in Mexico City on Sunday morning, with Miss Denmark Victoria Kjaer Theilvig taking home the crown.

Theilvig defeated Adetshina in the final, while contestants from Bolivia, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Russia, Chile, Thailand, Canada and Peru also made it to the top 12.

Chidimma’s journey to the top was remarkable. She impressed judges and the audience with her thoughtful answers on diversity and human respect.

Initially, she made it to the top 30 finalists and gradually rose to the top five contenders, ultimately securing the top two spots alongside Theilvig.

Theilvig, however, took over the crown from Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.

Chidimma’s feat means she is the first Nigerian woman to take the second spot — following in the footsteps of Agbani Darego was a contestant at Miss Universe 2001.

Darego became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall.
