Rev Zakariah Ido and members of the Evangelical Church Winning All in Kaduna, including the pastor’s daughter, were abducted in the early hours of Sunday.
A witness told local reporters that between 20 and 30 armed Fulani Muslim extremists were responsible for the attack.
The kidnapping took place as the church was hosting a choir service.
The Nigerian press has reported no contact has been established with the kidnappers.
According to a report by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), approximately 1,930 deaths were attributed to Fulani militants in 2018 alone, nearly six times the death toll caused by terrorist group Boko Haram.
