Lagos Pastor Missing for Three Weeks Without Trace, Wife Raises Alarm

A woman in Lagos, Mrs. Motunrayo Nnaemeka, has cried out over the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Pastor Christian Nnaemeka, who has been missing since June 6, 2025.

According to Mrs. Nnaemeka, her 43-year-old husband left their Lekki home to attend a church prayer session but vanished after stepping out around 8 p.m. for a brief walk in preparation for an all-night vigil. He never returned.

Recounting the troubling days before his disappearance, she said her husband had been restless and troubled, unable to sleep and deeply immersed in prayer. On the day he went missing, the family had visited their pastor for spiritual guidance, where he was advised to stay behind for the vigil.

However, events took a strange turn. Mrs. Nnaemeka revealed that her husband became increasingly unpredictable, choosing to stay back at church with their daughter and later refusing to leave the baptistery, where the child was playing in water. β€œHe said it was what she wanted,” she recalled. β€œI was shocked.”

The last time she saw him was when he ran off unexpectedly after trying to cross the expressway with their daughter, whom she had to forcibly retrieve. Since then, Pastor Nnaemeka has not been seen or heard from.

Efforts by the family and church members to locate him have so far yielded no results. The family is appealing to the public for information or assistance in finding him.
