Kidnappers of the Archbishop of Anglican Diocese of Gwagalada, Right Rev Moses Tabuwaye have demanded for a ransom of ₦40 million before the cleric can be released.
This announcement was made by Primate of the Church of Nigeria in the Anglican Communion and Archbishop of Abuja, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh on Saturday at the 2015 Annual Pre-pilgrimage Retreat and Workshop for staff of Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) and stakeholders.
The cleric said that Bishop Tabuwaye was on his way to Awka, Anambra State, for a church programme on Friday, when the kidnappers took him away to an unknown destination.
“I urge all of you Christians to be very vigilant and security conscious where-ever 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.
