Two Catholic priests were reportedly kidnapped in Edo State by gunmen on Saturday night.
Rev. Fr. Udo of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Uromi and Rev. Fr. Philemon Oboh, according to a witness who spoke to the media on Sunday, were kidnapped by motorcycle-riding gunmen along the Benin-Auchi Road.
The abduction of two men came just one week after gunmen abducted a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Christopher Odia, at Ikabigbo Community in Etsako West Local Government Area of the state.
The priest was later found dead in a bush in the community.
