Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly abducted Ven. David Arinze Ajaefobi, the Archdeacon of Oyi Central Archdeaconry and Vicar of St. James’ Parish in Awkuzu, located in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 26, 2024, near the gate of the church.
As of the time of this report, no contact has been made by the abductors. The Anambra State Police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, stated that the command has not yet received a formal report on the incident. However, a senior police official confirmed the abduction to journalists on Sunday.
Ven. Ajaefobi, who was inducted as the vicar of St. James Parish on April 10, 2022, serves within the Diocese on the Niger of the Anglican Communion. Authorities are expected to initiate an investigation into the incident to locate and secure his release.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
