The Anambra Police Command has confirmed the abduction of two Catholic reverend sisters by armed assailants in the state.
According to a statement from the command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the nuns were reportedly kidnapped along Ufuma Road in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Ikenga stated, “This tragic incident occurred yesterday evening, 7 January 2025, as the nuns were returning from a vocational service meeting in Ogboji.”
He assured the public that a joint operation led by the police is currently underway to secure the safe rescue of the nuns.
