Though the names of the priests could not be ascertained as of press time, a source who did not want to be mentioned, said, “They are priests of St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Umueze Anam in Anambra West Local Government.”


The source said the priests were abducted at Umuleri while returning from an official function.

“They were actually kidnapped in the Umuleri area on their way to Umueze Anam. The kidnap took place at Nneyi Umuleri in Anambra East Local Government Area,” the source stated.

    1. Anam, Aguleri,Umuleri. These are violence prone communities. A friend is from there and I remember when his dad in the village was matcheted over a little misunderstanding.
      He was talking marriage, I ran!
