Kaduna: Gunmen Storm Praying Camp, Kidnap Pastor, Wife

Unknown gunmen have kidnapped a pastor, his wife and one other person at a praying camp in Kaduna State. 

The state’s Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed the incident in a Facebook post. 

Apostle Emmanuel Egoh Bako, his wife Cindy Bako and one Mr. Douglas were whisked away by the gunmen who stormed the praying ground located in Jema’a Local Government Area on Saturday. 

Aruwan said the gunmen “attacked the Albarka praying camp along the Afana-Fadan Kagoma-Kwoi road. They fired sporadically, hitting a vehicle as can be seen in the attached pictures, before abducting Apostle Bako, his wife and one Mr Douglas from the camp.

“Troops arrived the location and pursued the kidnappers who were however able to escape with the victims.” 

The commissioner noted that Bako is the Kaduna State Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria.
