Catholic Priests Abducted along Expressway in Edo
Two catholic priests traveling along the Benin-Auchi-Abuja Expressway have reportedly been kidnapped.
The priests were abducted on Saturday while traveling from Benin to Uromi in Edo state.
Shortly after Rev. Fr. Christopher Odia of the St. Michael Catholic Church, located around the Edo North Senatorial District was kidnapped and killed, two other priests, Rev.Fathers Udo Peter and Philemon were also kidnapped in the same state.
Mr. Fred Itua, a close friend of Rev. Fr. Oboh also confirmed that he was kidnapped.
"Rev. Fr. Oboh is a priest, who does not have money. His abduction is unfortunate, disheartening, and traumatizing,” he said.
He also begged that the priests should be returned unharmed by the kidnappers as they were yet to contact the families of the clerics...
