Gunmen on Sunday morning abducted a Catholic priest in Imo State.

The priest, Rev. Prof. Izu Marcell Onyeocha, was said to have been abducted around 7:00 a.m at Ihube Community in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State along Enugu -Port Harcourt Express Road.

The victim, who is a lecturer in the Faculty of Humanities at the Imo State University, is a native of Avuru Community in Ikeduru council area.

He was said to have been on transit from Enugu to Owerri when the incident happened.

The gunmen were said to have shot sporadically into the air to force him to stop.

It was not clear if the cleric drove alone but a resident said: “The kidnappers shot sporadically in the air to scare away other road users at the scene of the operation. They drove the cleric in his car at the scene of the incident”.

Imo police spokesperson Orlando Ikeokwu could not respond to enquires from The Nation as his phone line rang out without answer.

The people orchestrating these attacks are one and d same ones behind d prison and police headquarters attack. No b released prisoners dey do am. How do u justify a supposed attack on a police headquarters dat didn't leave behind any bullet holes on the buildings or casualties on both sides...

They did not honour sabbat day,they kidnapped on Sunday

They did honour sabbat day,they kidnapped on Sunday

Sunday is not the Sabbath day

This is the end time, bandits will soon kidnap herdsmen

The country is completely gone, we should expect more of this in coming days.

Who kidnapped the bishop, and his driver, a few months ago?
The police?
The identity of the kidnappers was hushed.

I Wish they Have Ears to Hear- A Catholic Priest for that Matter

AGNESikpuNNU:
Do not touch God's anointed.

Fulanis herdsmen on the beat

May God help our priests. No attack shall befall them, Amen. To those kidnappers, just release him unhurt or face the consequences of your actions.
I pray that they will be caught and killed on sight since they have decided to impeach a man of God that has no wife and kids.
Holy Ghost fire must fire them

Some of them think with their anus.
They lack the faculty necessary for cognitive reasoning.

How can a whole Force headquarters be attacked without any casualty either on the Police side or the unknown gunmen.

What is happening is pre planned, this is not about ESN/IPOB some set of people want to cause tension in the South East they know many will blame IPOB for it.
