The Rev. Ben Madu, a Nigerian Catholic priest serving in Salem and on Cape Ann, faces imminent departure due to an expiring visa, raising fears among parishioners and hospital staff about his safety if he returns to Nigeria. Concerns stem from ongoing violence against priests in Nigeria, where kidnapping and murder are common, and uncertainty over whether U.S. authorities will renew his visa amid broader immigration restrictions. Madu, appreciated for his compassionate ministry and community presence, is preparing to leave despite efforts by lawmakers to extend visas for religious workers, as current policies and backlogs hinder his ability to stay.
