Gunmen reportedly kidnapped an Anglican pastor, Rev. Agbadamashi Emmanuel, together with his wife and children along the East-West road by Evwreni junction.

Wakadaily learnt that the incident happened on Friday while the Anglican priest and his family members were travelling from Ughelli to the Uwheru community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the State.

The criminal elements suddenly accosted them and dragged them into the bush.

This was reported to journalists in Warri on Monday by the Public Relations Officer of the Anglican Communion, Ughelli Diocese, Hon. Justice Iyasere.

He however, did not confirm if the abductors had contacted the family for any ransom demand.

But the kidnapped cleric and his family were still in captivity as of the time of filing this report.
