"He went for evangelism with a pastor from his church — Living Faith," the friend tweeted.
"He is an only son. Let's not forget him in our prayers."
The abducted young man's roommate also told The Punch newspaper that he was informed by a church member that the insurgents have since demanded a N200 (£425,407) ransom.
It is still not clear how many of the church members were kidnapped.
