Four Reverend Sisters of the Catholic Church have been kidnapped on Sunday in Imo state by unknown gunmen. The sisters were kidnapped on their way to the morning mass.

It should be noted that just last week, a catholic priest, Rev Chinedu Nwadike was kidnapped along the same route. He was released two days after.

In a statement issued by The Sisters of Jesus the Saviour (Generalate), it was disclosed that the women of God were abducted at the Okigwe-Umulolo area of the expressway.

The statement which was tagged “sad news”, issued by the Secretary-General of the body, Sister Zita Ihedoro asked all religious faithful to pray for the quick and safe return of the victims.

“Sisters Johannes Nwodo, Christabel Echemazu, Liberata Mbamalu and Benita Agu are kidnapped”, the statement revealed.

“May Jesus the savior listen to our prayers and may our mother Mary intercede for the unconditional release of our dear sisters”.
