Just in: How Two Catholic Priests were kidnapped by Gunmen In Adamawa

Gunmen have kidnapped two clergymen identified as Rev. Fr. Mathew David Dusami, a priest with Yola Catholic Diocese, Rev. Fr. Abraham Samman of Jalingo Diocese on Saturday morning.

The Adamawa State Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, who confirmed the incident to newsmen frowned at the ugly behaviour

The police commissioner told newsmen that the two reverend gentlemen were kidnapped at the residence of one of the priests located at Gwaida Malam in Numan local government area of the state.

According to him, the kidnappers who were reportedly armed with dangerous weapons, arrived at the victims’ house around 4am to whisk them away.

Morris added that the Command’s operational and manpower assets have been deployed to give the kidnappers a hot chase to rescue the victims unhurt, and apprehend the perpetrators and their collaborators.

“The Command will surely bring the perpetrators and other persons involved in the abduction to face the full wrath of the law.

“We are committed to safeguarding lives and resisting all forms of violent crimes in the state.

“This unprovoked kidnapping of religious leaders is totally unacceptable as they are not only stakeholders, but also people who are actively working to promote peace in the society,” the CP said.

While appealing for calm over the incident, the CP called for the support and cooperation of the public to give useful and timely information that will aid its quest to rescue the victims and arrest the perpetrators
