Kidnapped Imo Catholic priest, Ubaechu regains freedom

Published on March 27, 2025 at 02:48 PM

The kidnapped Parish Priest of the Holy Family Catholic Church, Izombe, in Imo State, Rev. Fr. John Ubaechu, has been released.

A statement by the Owerri Archdiocese Chancellor/Secretary, Rev. Fr. Patrick Mbara, early Thursday morning disclosed that Ubaechu was released on Wednesday.

Recall that the clergyman was kidnapped in the evening of Sunday, March 23, at Ejemekuru on his way to Owerri for the annual retreat of priests of the Owerri Archdiocese.

It was gathered that the kidnappers had demanded a N20 million ransom for the release of the priest.

However, Mbara, in the statement announcing the release of his colleague, was silent on the details concerning Ubaechu’s freedom from captivity.

“I am directed to inform you that our priest, Rev. Fr. John Ubaechu, who was kidnapped on Sunday, March 23, 2025, has been released. He regained his freedom from his abductors today, March 26, 2025.

“We thank God for His infinite mercy and for answering our prayers. We appreciate your fraternal solidarity and prayers. To God be the glory,”; the statement read.
