THE Archbishop of the Niger Delta Province, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Ignatius Kattey, on Wednesday said the police lied over claims that they (police) were responsible for his release from the hands of kidnappers.

Kattey was abducted on September 6, 2013 and taken to an unknown destination before he regained his freedom.

But Kattey, who spoke with newsmen at his country home in Alode, Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, insisted that contrary to reports that the police rescued him, he (Kattey) only saw the police two days ago (Monday) since his abduction.

He, however,  commended the police for their efforts after his kidnap, while  maintaining that his release from captivity was through divine intervention.

“The Police did not rescue me. They were not the ones who rescued my wife, Beatrice. I saw the police for the first time two days ago since the incident.

“I have heard the statements made by the Rivers Police Public Relations Officer. The police are telling lies. If you cannot trust the police again, then who can you trust? I told the Commissioner of Police and he has apologised.

“I know they made efforts. but they did not rescue me and my wife. A helicopter flew over the area more than 500 times, but the boys (kidnappers) were smarter. They held me in a thick forest and no one could see me there.

“On the day of my release, they moved me and we trekked a number of kilometres till we got to a road. [quote]Then they gave me N200 and ordered me to walk to the direction where I could get a motorcycle.

“We thank God for His mercies because I wouldn’t even wish my enemy to go through that experience,” the archbishop, who is also the Dean of Anglican Communion in Nigeria, added.

Explaining that he was not tortured by his captors, Kattey pointed out that he was not aware if any ransom was paid for his release.

“I was not tortured. They fed me on fast food once a day, sometimes on boli (roast plantain). They tied and chained my legs, but one of them said ‘you can’t chain this man.” http://www.punchng.com/news/police-lied-about-my-release-kattey/

For him to saw helicopter that flew over d area more than 500 times that tells him that the police were untop of the situation. He better thank God that he got back home sound and healthy.

#gbam !
The police made efforts bt they shudnt have claimed they rescued him.
Na to pay the ransom and trust God. Bt I have never trusted the police, may b in another life

Hmm. Too bad. They made their efforts. Noted. But must they take credit for what they did not achieve? However, with the typical kind of stories often heard about the Nigerian police, it would have been wise for the man of God to ignore it. It won't be funny to be kidnapped a second time. It may be a different story all together.

No one shuld drag name of d archbishop kattey into the politics of rivers state or else u will face d wrath of God, because kattey as a man of God have remind mute on the political issues in the state and maintained a cordial relationship between the both parties. For those of you that listened to the rivers state police PRO over d release of kattey, she categorically stated that the nigerian police force hv rescued the archbishop. so what are you people saying? that d man of God should nt say d simple truth?
