There is mounting tension among members of the Anglican Church in Abia State following the reported kidnapping of six delegates en route to Abuja for the Divine Commonwealth Conference (DIVCCON).
The delegates, from the Isiala Ngwa Diocese, were reportedly abducted by unknown assailants in Kogi State along with their driver as they traveled to the annual Church of Nigeria event in the Federal Capital Territory.
Details remain unclear regarding contact between the families of the victims and the church members. However, a circulated message from an Archdeaconry sub-platform within the Umuahia Diocese confirmed the kidnapping and urged urgent prayers for the safe release of those abducted.
News of the abduction has heightened fear and concern among Anglican faithful in Isiala Ngwa and neighboring dioceses. Church members are now gathering in fervent prayer for the safe return of the delegates.
