So now , Jidenna would have to get a grip of himself and know that it is not only fair skinned people that get kidnapped. News coming to my desk says An Imo State Reverend father, Francis Ugoo Egbebu, has been kidnapped by some hoodlums.
This is not the first time it has happened and little is known as to why kidnappers are fast growing a penchant for kidnapping priests rather than the fair-skinned people our dear Jidenna had erroneously thought.Come to think of it, kidnappers may think that abducting men of God is in fact more lucrative.
If you follow up my blog post, you perhaps did read the news about the Ekiti state priest that was kidnapped by gunmen. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 5million naira and the church has been devastated since the news of the kidnap got to them.
It is apparently not clear as to where the kidnapping took place. some say it happened in Owerri , others say it was Orlu, the community where he was serving. He was last seen Monday Morning.
Let us say our prayers fervently for the rescue of the priest.

Strong
feelers from the Catholic Diocese of Orlu, where Rev. Fr. Egbebu is
serving, indicated that the ever cheerful priest was last seen driving
out of the Parish Monday morning.
