It was further learned that the worshippers, including Fr. Ishiwu, scampered for safety and dispersed in different directions.

However, according to an eyewitness account, the kidnappers, who allegedly spoke pidgin English and Fulani languages trailed the cleric to the Parish House and threatened to burn church facilities if he refused to come out.

They gained access and whisked the cleric to an unknown destination.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, said he was yet to receive a detailed report on the incident.
