Bishop Moses Chikwe

Catholic Military Life

In Nigeria on Dec. 27, 2020, thugs wielding semi-automatic rifles kidnapped Auxiliary Bishop Moses Chikwe of Owerri and his driver, Mr. Ndubuisi Robert. Bishop Chikwe is a former chaplain at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Diego, CA. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Bishop Chikwe shares how their abductors held them for five days in the Nigerian wilderness, at one point attacking Mr. Robert with a machete, only to receive His Excellency's forgiveness and blessings upon their release, but not the ransom they had sought.
