The wife of Slain Reverend Joshua Maraya of Evangelical Church winning all (ECWA) Damakasuwa southern Kaduna has been released

Spokesman for the church Rev Romanus Ebewonkidi had announced in the ECWA church media platform that Grace Maraya had been released by the bandits and that she was back home with her kids.

“We thank God she finally regained freedom in the night of 19th November.” said Rev Romanus.

” Thank you for praying. We all know it is a long way for her and her children. Praying more and reaching out to her as the Lord leads you will be greatly appreciated.” he posited.

“The rampaging bandits had shot and killed Rev. Joshua Maraya of ECWA Damakasuwa 2 on the night of November 17 kidnapping his wife in the process.” said Romanus.

This reporter recalls that the late man of God Maraya was first attacked in August this year in the same building but escaped by God’s grace.

The bandits kidnapped his daughter whose mother’s screaming attracted people around and they ran away leaving the girl then.

This time around they double armed themselves very well, asked after the girl who was not around,then shot the man of God on his chest, killing him instantly and taking away his wife, Grace.

Southern part of Kaduna has been a beehive of activity for known foreign bandits who have annexed a sizable chunk of the ancestral homes and farmlands of the people and resettled in them.

They live in the nearby savanna forests known by a section of the security agencies where they drive into surrounding towns and villages kidnap people for cash and take them into the bush.

Frantic efforts are being made by the military to reverse the very sad narrative which has existed for almost a decade so that residents will finally return to their ancestral lands.
