Kidnapped Anglican Archbishop Released

The Dean of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Ignatius Kattey has regained his freedom from kidnappers’ den.

Kattey, who was abducted along with his wife, Beatrice last week Friday along Aleto-Eleme in Eleme Local Government Area of River States but she was later dropped off, was freed on Saturday night.

Confirming the development, the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Angela Agabe said the clergyman was rescued by the police and other security forces.

As at the time of filing this report, it is unclear if any arrests were made in connection with the kidnap or if there was any shoot-out between the security forces and the kidnappers during the operation to free Archbishop Kattey.
