A catholic priest, Alphonsus Bello has been murdered, with another senior member of the church kidnapped in Malumfashi town on Thursday night.
According to reports, the criminal gang arrived at the catholic church in Malumfashi in the late hours of Friday and forced their way into the premises but we’re faced with little resistance that led to the exchange of fire between them and the security around the area.
According to TVC News, the body of the priest was found on a farm close to the church with the other victims who is a 70-year-old and a member of the church still with the kidnappers.
Although no official statement from the government or the security operatives but the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria issued a release condemning the unfortunate event and urged Christian faithfuls to intensify prayers.
