Kidnappers Abduct Four Reverend Sisters In Imo
BY ONYEKACHUKWU IBEZIM – Catholic Faithfuls in Imo State endured another horrible experience on Sunday as kidnappers reportedly abducted four Reverend Sisters in the South East state.
It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred somewhere along Okigwe-Enugu Road which has become notorious for kidnapping operations by criminal elements.
A statement signed by the Secretary-General, Sisters Of Jesus The Saviour (Generalate), Sister Zita Ihedoro, confirmed the incident, saying; “Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is with great pain that we bring to your notice the kidnapping of four of our sisters mentioned above.
“The sad event of their abduction occurred around Okigwe-Umulolo area this morning shortly after the sisters were on their way to thanksgiving mass of our sister.
“We implore for intense prayer for their quick and safe release. May Jesus the Saviour listen to our prayers and may our mother Mary intercede for the unconditional release of our dear sisters.”
The Sisters of Jesus the Saviour, also known as, the Saviourites Sisters (SJS), listed names of the latest victims as Sisters Johannes Nwodo, Christabel Echemazu, Liberata Mbamalu and Benita Agu.
Just last week, a Catholic priest, Reverend Fr. Chinedu Nwadike was kidnapped along the same road but was freed two days later by his abductors.
