“Yes, it is true, but I am not in a position to give details,” the source stated. “The church will issue an official statement later in the day.”
As of the time of this report, attempts to get a comment from the Niger State Police Command have been unsuccessful. The command’s spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, did not respond to calls.
This kidnapping follows a similar incident just days earlier, when terrorists attacked a government school in neighbouring Kebbi State, abducting at least 25 students.
