Abducted Ikulu-Pari Catechist released | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
A statement from the Kafanchan Diocese of the Catholic Church, said that Ishaya, who was kidnapped from the Parish Rectory, was released Saturday morning.
“The captors initially asked for N5 million but we discussed with them,” the source, a leader in the Church, told NAN. The Parish had held its annual Thanksgiving Service on Sunday and its members suspect the abductors were targeting the proceeds having succeeded in carting away what was generated in February 2022.
Neighbours told NAN that the gunmen broke into the residence of the Priest after scaling through the fence.“Immediately they broke into the house, they searched and ransacked everywhere.“They even checked the ceiling, but Father had travelled. So, they did not get him.“It is a very sad situation. This is devastating. They dragged Catechist on the ground like a dog,” a visibly fear-stricken woman told NAN.
