Just In: Gunmen miss Rev Father, abduct Catechist in Ikulu-Pari

Mr. Kefas Ishaya, the catechist at St. Monica Catholic Church, Ikulu-Pari, in the Chawai Chiefdom of Kauru Local Government, Kaduna State, has been abducted by unidentified gunmen.

 

 

 

According to NAN, the assailants kidnapped the catechist after failing to capture his boss, Rev. Fr. Joseph Shekari.

 

 

 

Shekari, who was not at his home when the attack took place, had left the village, according to NAN.

 

 

Chairman of Ikulu Zone of the parish, Mr Sunday Bage, told NAN that the abductors came “around 9.30 p.m. and dragged the Catechist to the bush.

 

 

”They took him with his phone. We have been calling the line, but it keeps ringing out.”

 

 

He said the gunmen shot sporadically, moving through the church, the school and the priest’s residence in search of the Rev Father.

 

 

Some residents of the area told NAN that the gunmen broke into the priest’s house through the fence.

 

 

”They used stones and bullets to break the main door of the house.

 

 

”This is devastating; it is a very sad situation. They dragged Catechist on the ground like a dog,” a visibly fear-stricken woman told NAN. CONTINUE READING…………………………………
