Bandits have abducted two Catholic priests in Kaduna state.
Channels Television reported that the two priests, Reverend Father John Cheitnum and Reverend Father Donatus Cleopas were abducted on Friday evening, July 15, in Jere Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Chancellor of Kafanchan Catholic Diocese, Reverend Father Emmanuel Okolo who confirmed the abduction, said the two priests were kidnapped by bandits at about 5pm on Friday while they were on pastoral duty at the rectory of Christ The King Catholic Church, Yadin Garu.
He prayed for the safe and quick return of the abducted priests and urged members of the Catholic community in Kafanchan to remain law abiding and prayerful.
This is also coming less than two weeks after another priest, Reverend Father Emmanuel Silas, was kidnapped by bandits from the parish rectory of Saint Charles Catholic Church, Zamina in Kauru LGA.
