Some unknown gunmen on Sunday morning in Imo kidnapped two women, including a Reverend Sister, at different points.
The reverend sister was abducted at Dim na Nume, Isu in Nwangele Council Area of the state few minutes after a kidnap incident occurred at Ohii.
It was gathered the Reverend Sister, whose identity is not known, was driving when the kidnappers waylaid and forced her to stop.
An eyewitness said the kidnappers forced her into their get-away car while one entered and drove her car behind.
Also in another incident, worshippers at St Philip’s Anglican Church, Ohii Parish in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state were caught by surprise when some men stormed the church at about 7:45 am and kidnapped one Mrs. lkenna Onwusoroaka.
The kidnappers were said to have whisked her away in their car, leaving the woman’s vehicle behind.
It was learnt that youths of Orogwe Archdeaconry, who were holding their camp/conference at the church premises, had to scamper to safety.
The two incidents followed the abduction of one Chimezie Okpara on Friday at his Umudurunna home.
Okpara was kidnapped while returning to his house from the market, where he had gone to buy things for the burial ceremony of his brother’s father-in-law.
Family sources said more than 48 hours after the incident, the kidnappers have yet to contact his family.
State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bala Elkana, could not be reached on phone as of the time of filing this report.
