@jam3723: Six years ago, 18-year-old Catholic seminarian Michael Ikechukwu Nnadi was brutally murdered in Nigeria for his unwavering faith. In January 2020, armed bandits raided the Good Shepherd Major Seminary in Kaduna and kidnapped four seminarians. Three were later released, but Michael was killed after courageously preaching the Gospel to his captors. Even in captivity, he boldly called them to repentance and conversion — a witness that cost him his life. ⚡ His killer later admitted that Michael refused to stay silent, continuing to proclaim Christ until the very end. At such a young age, he chose martyrdom over compromise. According to Muhammad, one of the bandits, they had killed Michael because he kept asking them to repent and change their lives, letting go of their evil attitudes. He said that what bothered them the most was that although Michael knew they were Muslims, he kept insisting that they had to repent and abandon their way of life. A woman Bolanle Ataga was murdered, along with Michael Nnadi, who had been kidnapped with her two daughters. -------------------- Today, we honor this modern-day martyr whose blood continues to cry out for justice and for the conversion of souls in Nigeria. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” (Psalm 116:15) Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. May the example of Michael Nnadi strengthen our faith and inspire us to stand firm in persecution. 🙏 Rest in peace, dear brother in Christ. #MichaelNnadi #ChristianMartyr #FaithUnderFire #Nigeria #CatholicSeminary
