A disturbing incident unfolded as Reverend Agbadamashi Emmanuel, an Anglican pastor, along with his wife and children, fell victim to a kidnapping by armed individuals near the Evwreni junction on the East-West road.
The incident occurred on a Friday as the Anglican clergyman and his family were en route from Ughelli to the Uwheru community within Ughelli North Local Government Area of the State. Suddenly, the gunmen intercepted them, forcibly leading them into the nearby wilderness.
