EKO HOT BLOG reports that two elderly men suspected to be kidnappers have abducted an 11-year-old boy in Anambra state during mass.
According to reports, the Kidnappers comprised an elderly man and another middle-aged man who were described as tricycle riders, reportedly stormed the church pretending to be looking for the parish catechist.
Ogazi Ejesieme, who disclosed the news of the kidnap, said the victim was his nephew and was taken from Annunciation Catholic Church, Awka, where the boy had attended mass.
Ejesieme said: “My 11-year-old nephew was kidnapped today at Annunciation Catholic Chaplaincy, Awka where he went for Sunday mass.
“According to him, the suspects were an elderly man with his keke friend and they came pretending to be looking for the parish catechist. In a bid for him to help them look for the catechist, the only thing he could remember was seeing himself inside their keke and the rest was history.”
Ejesieme, however, said that the good news was that the boy was miraculously abandoned at Amawbia, a neighbouring community to Awka.
“The good news is that God was able to arrest his kidnappers and they abandoned him at ‘Ugwu Tank’ Amawbia and fled.
“They got to the Catholic Church at Ugwu Tank Amawbia and dumped him there and left,” he said.
He admonished all to be careful, saying: “This is a very critical time and I urge every church, school, recreation centers, parents and guardians to be extra vigilant because of the men of the underworld prowling around the cities looking for the unsuspecting innocent people to devour.”
