Catholic priest abducted in Ondo

A Catholic Priest, identified as Reverend Father Joseph Ajayi, has been kidnapped along the Akure-Ikere Road in Ondo State.

A family source, who confirmed the incident, disclosed that the incident occurred on Monday while the clergyman was travelling in his Toyota Corolla sedan car.

Ajayi was said to be returning from Ikere – a city in neighbouring Ekiti State and travelling to Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State.

He was on his way to Ilara-Mokin – located very close to Akure, the Ondo State capital where his parish is situated – before he was attacked and taken away by yet-to-be-identified persons to an undisclosed location.

The 49-year-old reverend father was said to be traveling alone.

Although there is, so far, no official confirmation from either the state government or the police authorities.
