The priest, Reverend Father Anthony Dawa was abducted by the gunmen from his residence in the early hours of Tuesday when they invaded Saint Pius Catholic Church Kushe Makaranta in Kagarko Local Government Area of the State.

The bandits also abducted the wife and son of the catechist of the parish and one other person during the operation.

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.
