Abducted Rev Fr Gerald Ohaeri
By CHARLES IWUOHA
A Roman Catholic Priest, Rev Fr Gerald Ohaeri, serving under Nsukka Diocese has been reportedly kidnapped.
News Express learnt that Ohaeri was on his way from Enugu capital back to his Isienu-Nsukka parish when he was abducted.
The incident occurred at the dreaded Enugu-Ugwuogo-Opi-Nsukka Road in the evening of Saturday, November 30, 2024.
It is unclear the number of people kidnapped alongside the Catholic priest.
The same hoodlums were reported to have also attempted to kidnap a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
A trending video showed the moment the security escorts of the Deputy Governor of Enugu State raced to the scene to save the situation.
Residents and road users are concerned that despite the heavy deployment of security agencies along the said road, kidnappers have continued to have a field day, making it a nightmare to travel along that route.
Enquiries sent by News Express to the spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe was yet to be responded to as of the time of filing this report.
The Catholic Diocese of Nsukka was also yet to issue any official communication on the incident.
