Gunmen Kidnap Catholic Priest In Anambra
At the Nnobi roundabout in the Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, an unidentified Catholic priest has reportedly been kidnapped.
A witness reported that the assailants ambushed a man driving a Lexus FX 300 with the number plate number Anambra GDD 882 PW who was travelling in the direction of Awka-Etiti.
“The attackers forcibly bundled the priest into their jeep, leaving his car steaming on the road, before fleeing,” an eyewitness reported.
Ikenga Tochukwu, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Anambra State, stated that the incident had not been reported to his office when contacted.
Meanwhile, The Federal Government did not begin the evacuation of Nigerians stranded in war-torn Sudan on Tuesday.
On Sunday, Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama stated that the evacuation would begin on Tuesday but failed to do so.
Hundreds of people have been killed since the crisis between the forces of the two rival generals broke out in the capital of Sudan ten days ago.
According to Onyeama, over 80 percent of Nigerians in Sudan are students.
Abubakar Babangida, president of the National Association of Nigerian Students in Sudan, told our correspondent last night that the evacuation of Nigerians stranded in the troubled country had not yet begun.

Babangida stated that he did not know when the stranded Nigerian students would be evacuated from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, due to the poor quality of the local communication network.
However, he acknowledged that the Nigerian government was attempting to rescue the stranded students.
