Abducted Abia Anglican delegates reunite with families

Members of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Diocese of Isiala Ngwa in Abia State, who were kidnapped in Kogi State on their way to Abuja a few days ago, have regained their freedom and returned to their families.

The delegates, who included two priests, male and female church members, were heading to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja to attend an annual religious event called Divine Commonwealth Conference of Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion (DIVCCON) when they were kidnapped by unknown hoodlums.

Their incident caused fears among the church faithful in the Isiala Ngwa Diocese and the Anglican community at large, which made the leaders of various Dioceses to declare prayers for the freedom of the victims.

Latest report from the Diocese said the delegates had been released and had returned to Abia to reunite with their families.

Details were not provided on whether they were rescued by the police in Kogi State or if any ransom was paid by their families.
