Joint security forces have increased patrols in the area, he said, using intelligence-led operations to prevent the criminals from causing more damage and to make it easier for them to be apprehended.

“To stop criminals from taking advantage of the situation to steal property, the area was roped off, and fire department personnel quickly brought the situation under control.

Reunited with their family are abducted Abia Anglican delegates.

After being abducted in Kogi State while travelling to Abuja a few days ago, members of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Diocese of Isiala Ngwa in Abia State, have since reclaimed their freedom and are back with their families.

Unknown thugs abducted the delegates, who included two priests and both male and female church members, as they were travelling to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja to attend the Divine Commonwealth Conference of Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion (DIVCCON), an annual religious gathering.

Church officials from other Dioceses expressed their prayers for the victims’ freedom as a result of the tragedy, which alarmed the Isiala Ngwa Diocese’s faithful as well as the Anglican community at large.
According to the Diocese’s most recent report, the delegates were free to return to Abia to be with their families.

There was no information on whether their relatives paid a ransom or if Kogi State police were able to save them.
