He said that the kidnappers have not demanded any ransom laments the growing insecurity in the country which he notes has led to the death of many innocent citizens while several others are living in fear.

Although the police authorities are yet to confirm the incident, the Archibishop however, appealed to security agencies to facilitate the immediate rescue of the kidnapped victims.

He also called on the government to step up its responsibilities of protecting the lives and properties of the citizens before it is too late.
