Those who abducted two Catholic priests, Rev. Fr. Franklyn Odiaka and
Rev. Fr. Moses Nwanochei in Delta state have reportedly contacted the
Issele-Uku Diocese demanding N100m before they will release their
victims.
Both priests were kidnapped last Friday while on their
way from a ceremony in honour of their Bishop, Most Rev. Michael Elue
around Obior, Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state.
It
was learnt that the the abductors contacted some priests in the diocese
demanding for N100m before they will release their victims.

the Police command has not received a formal or official report from the
Catholic Church.”
