Family of kidnapped Benue Catholic priest appeals for his release

Family members of the abducted Vicar General of the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo, Very Reverend Fr. John Adeyi, who was kidnapped last Sunday by unknown gunmen, Thursday appealed to his captors to release him unharmed.

Palpable fear has gripped residents of Otukpo, homestead of former Senate President, David Mark over the rising crime wave in the area especially five days ago after the clergy was abducted and a N10 million ransom demanded as a condition for his release.
As at the time of filing this report, Rev. Fr. Adeyi was still in the hands of the captors who also confiscate his mobile phones thus rendering him incommunicado with his people until the amount demanded is paid.
