520 |a While previous studies have focused on the increasing insecurity bedeviling Nigerians, there is a dearth of knowledge on the endangered status of the Christian clergy in north-central and southern Nigeria. The aim of this study is to analyze the reasons for the kidnapping and killing of the Christian clergy by terrorist groups such as Jihadists, bandits, and herdsmen in north-central and southern Nigeria. This qualitative study was conducted with a phenomenological approach. Data was gathered from oral interviews and extant literature. Its findings reveal that terrorist groups have an agenda to instill fear in the citizens of north-central and southern Nigeria. Also, the terrorist groups used the kidnapping of priests to show their ability to achieve their plans. Recommendations are proposed.
