In a press statement on Sunday, the Vicar General , Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Kazah, said, 'While we solicit for fervent prayers for his urgent and safe release, we equally condemn this act of incessant kidnappings for ransom of innocent and defenceless citizens of our communities, and we call upon the government to horn its security intelligence as we approach the celebration of Sallah.
' He assured that the Church would work with security operatives for the victim's quick release, calling on all to stay away from taking the laws into their hands. He added that they would use every legitimate means to ensure that Rev. Father Gabriel Ukeh came back to them safe and sound.
