KIDNAPPERS DEMAND N40MILLION RANSOM FOR ABUJA BISHOP

ARCHBISHOP, Metropolitan and Primate of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh,  has revealed that abductors of Right Reverend Moses Tabuwaye are demanding N40 million to release the cleric.
Okoh made the reveal in Abuja, at the weekend, at the 2015 annual pre-pilgrimage retreat and workshop for staff of Nigerian Christians Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) and stakeholders.
The cleric, who warned Christians to be wary of kidnappers, explained that Bishop Tabuwaye of Gwagwalada Diocese was on his way to Awka, Anambra State, for a church programme on September 4, when the kidnappers took him away to an unknown destination.
“I urge all of you Christians to be very vigilant and security conscious wherever you find yourselves.
“The issue of kidnapping is rampant in the country but we can still curtail the menace if we are vigilant.”
“If we fail to live together as brothers in prayers, we shall perish as fools, so we should endeavour to be our brothers’ keepers,” he said.
NCPC boss, John-Kennedy Opara, assured that he would always give a sense of direction and hope to ensure that God’s plans for the commission were
