A Catholic priest, Pastor Sunday Musa, has been abducted by suspected armed bandits who invaded Samunaka village in the early hours of Friday.
It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 4:00 a.m. in Samunaka, a community near Babanna in Borgu Local Government Area.
The attackers, numbering about twenty, stormed the village and began shooting sporadically before whisking the cleric away to an unknown destination.
The police said they received information from the Officer-in-Charge of the Babanna Police Outstation, who immediately alerted tactical teams and local vigilantes in the area.
Efforts are currently ongoing to track the kidnappers and rescue the victim unhurt, while patrols have been intensified across vulnerable communities in the Babanna–Borgu axis. (Zagazola, excluding headline)
