According to a statement issued by Rev. Alari Alari of ECWA Kasuwan Magani DCC, the Church has announced with deep sorrow the passing of Rev. Anthony Lamba, who died while in captivity after being kidnapped alongside his wife on July 24, 2025.
The statement revealed that while Rev. Lamba’s wife was later released following the payment of a ₦5 million ransom, the abductors continued to hold the cleric, demanding a motorcycle as an additional condition for his release.
“Sadly, while arrangements were being made to deliver the motorcycle, Rev. Lamba fell seriously ill and passed away in the camp,” the statement read.
A memorial service in his honor has been scheduled to hold at his hometown, Kallah, on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
The statement further called on Christians and the public to continue praying for the Church and the bereaved family.
“Let us continue to pray for the Church of God and the family he left behind,” Rev. Alari urged.
