Gunmen abducted Rev. Agbadamashi Emmanuel, an Anglican priest, along the East-West route at the Evwreni junction, together with his wife and kids.
The event happened on Friday as the Anglican priest and his family were traveling from Ughelli to the Uwheru hamlet in the State’s Ughelli North Local Government Area, according to the information obtained.
They heard that the gunmen ambushed them out of the blue and marched them into the forest.
Hon. Justice Iyasere, the Anglican Communion’s Public Relations Officer for the Ughelli Diocese, confirmed the event to reporters in Warri on Monday morning.
But he was unable to verify whether the kidnappers had demanded a ransom.
However, as of the time this article was filed, the kidnapped priest and his family remained in captivity on many occasions.
When news reporters phoned DSP Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, he assured them he would respond as soon as he received information from the Divisional Police Officer.
