Four reverend sisters of the Catholic Church have been kidnapped on the Enugu-Okigwe Road.
A statement on Sunday listed those kidnapped as Johannes Nwodo, Christabel Echemazu, Liberata Mbamalu and Benita Agu are kidnapped.
The statement was issued by the Sisters Of Jesus The Saviour (Generalate)
“Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is with great pain that we bring to your notice the kidnapping of four of our sisters mentioned above.
“The sad event of their abduction occurred around Okigwe-Umulolo area this morning shortly after the sisters were on their way to thanksgiving mass of our sister.
“We implore for intense prayer for their quick and safe release. May Jesus the savior listen to our prayers and may our mother Mary intercede for the unconditional release of our dear sisters.”
The Spokesperson for the police in the state, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to an inquiry concerning the abduction as of the time of filing this report.
Clerics of the Catholic Church have come under attacks and kidnapping in recent times.
Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Chinedu Nwadike was kidnaped along the same road last week.
