According to Vanguard, the kidnappers stormed the adoration ground after midnight and started shooting sporadically into the air.

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.
