Gunmen kidnapped a breastfeeding Pastor’s wife and a church member when they invaded Agyaragu community in Obi local government area of Nasarawa State.
According to the husband of the victim Pastor Samuel Nasamu his wife Patience and the church member were taken on at about 8.15pm on Sunday.
“I barely left my wife and our visitor with our newborn baby at home to pray for one of my members who is sick when my wife placed a call to me, and all I could hear was her voice of prayer. She could not even tell me what was happening.
“I stopped the prayers and when I got to the house my wife and a member were abducted, leaving my three-month-old baby behind,” he narrated.
According to him, the gunmen came straight to his apartment in a compound and made all efforts to break the doors and window using a hammer to smash the door. When they could not succeed, they started shooting sporadically, forcing his wife to open the door. In an attempt to run out, she was abducted alongside the member of the church.
He added that at about 7:00 p.m. some strange faces were seen on motorcycles, and shortly after, sounds of gunshots were heard.
Responding, a resident of Agyaragu community, who did not want his name mentioned, lamented that the spate of kidnapping in the area is worrisome and called on Governor Abdullahi Sule to do something urgent.
