Gunmen Abduct Pastor’s Wife in Ebonyi
THE wife of the Pastor Chris Aniamaka in charge of Dominion City,
Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Pastor (Mrs.) Ifeanyi Aniamaka
was weekend kidnapped by unknown gunmen at her residence in Abakaliki.
We learned that the victim who was trailed with a yellow bus while she
was driving in her KIA Rio car with registration number DK487BEN, was
intercepted at her residence in Onwe Nkam street, Democracy Estate,
Abakaliki and kidnapped.
The incident which took place at 3pm of the fateful day took both the
victim's neighbours and church members by surprise as such case was
the first in that area.
The husband of the victim and pastor of Dominion City, Kpirikpiri,
Pastor Aniamaka called on the church and security agents across the
state to ensure a speedy release of his wife from her abductors.
He said: "My brother this incident came as a shock to me; we just
finished our thanksgiving service for the year and my wife decided to
drive the children home and they were intercepted at our residence.
"From the account of my children who were instructed to come down from
the vehicle before the kidnappers took my wife away, the kidnappers
followed them gradually from behind until they got to our residence in
Democracy Estate.
"They threatened my wife with a gun and told my children to come down
from the car before they drove away".
Vanguard gathered that the kidnappers who are still suspected to be in
Ebonyi State had made contact with the family, demanding the sum of
N20 million for the release of the suspect.
Recall that two (2) weeks ago that a Deacon and Deaconness (names
withheld) of Assemblies of God Church in Abakaliki were kidnapped and
later released by their abductors after paying a ransom.
It is believed that a syndicate comprising some young men had decided
to terrorize churches in Abakaliki by kidnapping members believed to
be wealthy in the State.
A source close to the Ebonyi State Police Command who confirmed the
incident stated that the police had visited the scene of the incident
and that it was working assiduously to ensure the release of the
victim.
