A pastor with the
Assemblies of God Church, Pastor James Enyidah, has been kidnapped by unknown

Popularly called
Enyi Jesus, the cleric was kidnapped while going to Elele Town in search of one
of his members, who was arrested by security men during a raid in Ubima.
Vanguard reports

Meanwhile, one
Chibuzor Amadi, who was travelling with the victim, said the cleric was dragged
out of the car when the gunmen accosted them.

tried to resist them, they shot into the air. And when I pleaded, they started
beating me.”
