The wife
of Pastor Chris Aniamaka, in charge of Dominion City, Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki,
Ebonyi State, Pastor Ifeanyi Aniamaka, has been kidnapped by gunmen at her
residence in Abakaliki.
According to Vanguard, the victim, who was
trailed in a yellow bus while she was driving in her KIA Rio car, was
intercepted at her residence on Onwe Nkam Street, Democracy Estate, Abakaliki
and kidnapped.
In a chat
with Vanguard, the husband of the victim, Pastor Aniamaka, called on the
church for prayers and for security agents across the state to ensure the
speedy release of his wife from the hands of the abductors.
He said:
“This incident came as a shock to me. We just finished our thanksgiving service
for the year. My wife decided to drive the children home and they were
intercepted at our residence.
“From the
account of my children, who were instructed to come down from the vehicle
before the kidnappers took my wife away, the kidnappers followed them until
they got to our residence at Democracy Estate.
“They
threatened my wife with a gun and told my children to get down from the car
before they drove away.”
Vanguard gathered that the kidnappers, still
believed to be in the state, had made contact with the family, demanding N20
million ransom.
It will
be recalled that two weeks ago, a Deacon and Deaconess of Assemblies of God
Church in Abakaliki were kidnapped and later released by their abductors after
ransom was paid.
It is
believed that a syndicate of young men has been terrori-zing churches in
Abakaliki by kidnapping members believed to be wealthy.
