Unknown armed persons are said to have kidnapped a Catholic priest in Anambra State’s Nnobi, Idemili Local Government Area.
Passers-by reported that the catholic priest was kidnapped at Nnobi Roundabout, where he was seen trying to buy some fruits.
The unidentified priest was apparently on his way to Awka-Etiti, a neighboring town, when the hoodlums encircled him and bundled him into their car.
An eyewitness told Vanguard, “The victim had stopped his car at the Nnobi Junction to buy some fruits when his phone rang. He was still answering the call and looking around for the caller when he was double-crossed by another car whose occupants were armed to the teeth,”
“The assailants forcefully bundled him into their jeep, leaving his car steaming before driving off. The incident disrupted activities in the market as the hoodlums shot indiscriminately into the air.”
