    Gunmen Kidnap CAN Chairman

    Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Jos East Local Government Area of Plateau State, Rev James Kantoma has been abducted by gunmen.

    Kantoma who is also the Catholic priest in charge of St Anthony’s Parish, Angware community, was abducted at his house in the community by the gunmen on Sunday night.

    A resident of Angware community, Silas Joshua told Punch; “When the gunmen arrived the community at night, they moved straight to the house of the Reverend Father.

    “Some youths in the area, who were alerted, tried to stop and even gave them a hot chase into the bush but the gunmen started shooting everywhere and eventually took the Reverend Father away.”

    The State Chairman of CAN, Polycarp Lubo, also confirmed the abduction of the cleric, describing the incident as sad.

    Lubo said; “Since the gunmen took the Reverend Father away, we have not heard anything either from him or the abductors up till this morning.

    “This is so sad. But we are praying for him that no harm will befall him wherever he is. But for how long shall innocent citizens continue to be kidnapped or abducted without anything being done to address the problem?”

    Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, Alabo Alfred said the men of the command are already working towards rescuing the priest.

    Alabo said; “Our men are already working to ensure that the cleric regains his freedom and apprehend those behind the abduction.”
