A pastor named Usman Umaru was kidnapped by gunmen on Wednesday in Plateau State’s Jos East Local Government Area.
When the gunmen stormed the clergyman’s church in the Maigemu neighborhood early on Wednesday, they also kidnapped two other people. The preacher is affiliated with the Evangelical Church Winning All.
Michael Madaki, a young leader in the Maigemu community, confirmed the incident to media on Wednesday in Jos.
Security officers who were notified have been searching the bushes in the council area in an effort to free the abduction victims ever since the gunmen abducted the cleric, according to Madaki. In the early hours of September 13, 2023, Madaki remarked.
In Plateau state’s Jos East Local Government Area, the Maigemu community was invaded by unidentified gunmen who we assume were kidnappers. They arrived at the ECWA Church Nuku right away and took the pastor, Usman Umaru, hostage.
Before they fled, the gunmen also abducted a woman and a second guy, Agwom Dauda.
Men from the special taskforce, Operation Safe Haven, and several community vigilantes have been looking everywhere since the kidnapping event to rescue the victims.
Alabo Alfred, the spokesman for the Plateau State Police Command, was unavailable to comment on the incident when reporters called him, and subsequent calls to his cell phones revealed that they were turned off.
