Delta Police Vows To Rescue Kidnapped Priest

Mohammad Mustafa, Delta State Commissioner of Police yesterday, said the kidnappers of four priests in a border community between Delta and Edo states last Tuesday would soon be arrested.

Mustafa who hinted that the abductors had started communications, added that in the next few days, the clerics would be rescued by the police.

Mustafa made the disclosure in Ughelli while briefing newsmen at the end of a meeting with policemen serving in Ughelli Police Area Command.

He described the visit as a routine visit to the command which he said was geared towards improving its service delivery to the public.

On the kidnap of the priests, he said: “We are on it. We have already picked some people around those areas and the hoodlums have opened up a line of communication but we are encouraging people not to pay ransom for kidnap.

“We are tracking them and definitely, in the next few days or hours, we would be able to rescue them,” he added.
