The police in Kaduna have confirmed the kidnap of a Catholic priest, Reverend Father John Bako, at Ankuwa village in Kachia LGA.
Kaduna police spokesman, Yakubu Sabo, confirmed the abduction to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday night.
The spokesman said gunmen stormed the priest’s residence on Monday morning at about 8 a.m. and whisked him away to an unknown destination.
Mr Sabo, however, said a team of policemen led by the Kachia divisional police officer, operatives of Police Mobile Force and those from the command’s anti-kidnapping unit, had been dispatched to the village to comb the area.
He assured that the police commissioner, Ahmad Abdurrahaman, was doing everything possible to rescue the priest and arrest the suspects.
Sabo enjoined the public to help with information needed to quickly arrest the suspects.
