Chairman of Ikulu Zone of the parish, Mr Sunday Bage, told NAN that the abductors came “around 9.30 p.m. and dragged the Catechist to the bush.He said the gunmen shot sporadically, moving through the church, the school and the priest’s residence in search of the Rev Father.”They used stones and bullets to break the main door of the house.
”This is devastating; it is a very sad situation. They dragged Catechist on the ground like a dog,” a visibly fear-stricken woman told NAN.
