Gunmen have abducted Rev. Fr. Joseph Danjuma Shekare from his official residence at St. Monica’s Catholic Church, Ukulu Parish, Kaura Local Government of Kaduna State.
The kidnap has been confirmed by the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Kaduna State.
The Chancellor, Kafanchan Diocese, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Okolo, confirmed the incident on Monday at a press briefing in Kaduna.
He said: “Rev. Fr. Joseph Danjuma Shekare was kidnapped by unknown gunmen around 11:30p.m Sunday night.
“While we solicit for intense prayer for his quick and safe release, we equally wish to call on all and sundry to refrain from taking the laws into their hands.
“May Jesus crucified on the cross, listen to our prayers and hasten the unconditional release of His Priest and all other kidnapped persons.”
He, however, did not mention the reports that said the gunmen killed the cleric’s cook before whisking him to an unknown destination.
