A catechist at the St. Agnes Catholic Church in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State was on Sunday abducted by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.
According to PUNCH, the Parish Priest of St. Agnes Parish, Rev. Fr. Lawrence Awua stated that the terrorists attacked the church and began shooting at 9:58 pm.
“I was in the room when the attackers came and started shooting sporadically and hitting objects on my door.
“I never responded and they probably thought I was not around.
“My catechist, who was in the church heard what was happening in the Parish House and was coming towards the house when they abducted him,” he said.
According to The PUNCH, the attack came barely two weeks after gunmen killed Pastor Solomon Maji on his way back from church in Borno-kurku.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP. Usman Abdullahi, did not respond to calls to his line as of the time of filing this report.
