The Imo State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the kidnappers of Rev. Fr. Valentine Ezeagu of the Umuahia Catholic Diocese in Abia State.

Four gunmen had on Tuesday abducted Ezeagu at Umulolo, Arondizogu in the Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State.

The priest was said to be travelling to his hometown in the Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State for the burial of his father when the kidnappers emerged from the bush, forced him into the back seat of his car and sped off with him.

According to a statement issued by Secretary-General, Sons of Mary Mother of Mercy Generalate, Umuahia, Abia State, Rev. Fr. Goodluck Ajaero, the priest was travelling in his green Corolla car with number plate JJ 6658 BM at the time of the kidnap.

The Imo State police spokesperson, Orlando Ikeokwu, who spoke to our correspondent in Owerri on Wednesday, said though the incident was not reported at any police station in the state, the command had swung into action immediately.

Ikeokwu stated that the state Commissioner of Police, Isaac Akinmoyede, had charged the anti- kidnapping and quick intervention units of the command to ensure the immediate release of the cleric.

According to him, apart from ensuring the immediate release of the kidnapped priest, the CP also mandated the tactical units to arrest the abductors.

Ikeokwu said, “The kidnap incident was not reported in any police formation in Imo State. We learnt about the kidnap of Rev. Fr. Valentine Ezeagu of the Umuahia Catholic Diocese on social media. He was kidnaped at Umulolo while travelling to his home town in Anambra State.
