Retired Primate Peter Akinola, former Primate of the Anglican Church of Nigeria and past President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been kidnapped.

The incident occurred at about 3.00pm today at his Peter Akinola centre for youth training at Onijanganjangan, along old Lagos/Abeokuta road.

This was coming barely 24 hours after the state government boosted the security sector with 50 additional patrol vans.

At the ceremony, the governor had sounded warning to criminals to stay away from the state, particularly at the border areas as there would be no hiding place for them.

The centre where Akinola was kidnapped is meant to train youths in various technical and vocational skills free of charge.

The Anglican family has been thrown in confusion in Abeokuta, as preparation for the Xmas church services is reported to have reached advanced stage before the news of the highly revered priest's kidnap hit the town.

The kidnapping of the mother of a federal House of Reps. member, Abiodun Abudu-Balogun in Ijebu ode, last year was last known kidnap case recorded in the state.

A source close to the Akinolas confirmed the story, the Police spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi said he would issue a statement on the development.

wat has dis ur post got to do wit dis sad news.was it d same suspect dt kidnapped d bishop

What is the usefulness of people of IBB generation in the first place?

SW has been ravaged by kidnappers form the East. We need to smoke them out and send them back to their land.

Aisha Sasay, the CNN news reader, once characterized the events that led to the brutal civil war that ravaged her native Sierra Leone during the 1990s as a "war waged by the poor, against the rich - a class war".

The ongoing epidemic of kidnapping that Nigeria is now witnessing could be described in much the same manner, since virtually all kidnap victims accross Nigeria are those who are either comparatively wealthy, or who are at least pecieved to be rich, by virtue of the market value of the vehicles that convey them, and of the homes in which they reside.

Another clue that a low-intensity class war is already under way in Nigeria is the gratuitous cruelty meted out by kidnappers to their victims, who are typically starved until ransoms are paid, or until they simply expire from hunger. That deliberate starvation of wealthy kidnap victims by their captors is a stark index of the pure, visceral loathing that the kidnappers have for those who fall into their net. It thus comes as no surprise that more than a few kidnap victims have in fact been executed and dumped at the locations where their families were instructed to find their loved ones alive, AFTER the agreed ransoms were paid out.

If you are rich, and like to live large, flashing your cash and fancy ride, you had best reconsider that philosophy whenever you happen to be in contemporary Nigieria, because hungry eyes are observing you, and waiting for that one moment when your guard drops, to strike. In other words, to be rich and proud to show it in Nigeria today is to declare oneself a legitimate target for kidnap and possible murder even after all demands are met by your loved ones.

In summary, to survive Nigeria's ongoing class war, stay low-key, stay alert, and stay ALIVE, likes the muffuguh.

I just hope they don't kill him.
There is a lot of wickedness west of the Niger.

Mostly perpetuated by those from across the Niger River..

Too bad that this virus is spreading. From the creeks in Niger Delta now its every whr.

Not a good one for the image of the country.

And they are not even scared of Clergy.

These people are angry badly!

If something like this can happen to a clergy, then, everyone need to be watchful.


I pray he's found alive. Amen.

Of course,you can vomit above crap because it is your prerogative however it is too soon for you to forget the people who invented gbomogbomo.

The fact that you operates with several handles shouldn't give you the liberty to be swearing and cursing a forum moderator.

Learn some manners and forum etiquette

only trying to show the kid that kidnapping is a nigerian problem and not a geo-political zone. So far it happened in a geo-political zone doesn't mean the other zones can't be indicted. Hence, my reason for not making any statement from the copy and paste i made.

Relax, my dear brother, it will definitely still make FP.
Merry Xmas to you and yours.

DerangedGull....it's is really sad that you've refused to appreciate the huge difference between an ancient but long forgotten social vice of gbomogbomo with a trendy and modern form commercial kidnapping.

It's really a shame on you..

Is MukiOtu a relative of MukiIkpu, and if so, why are you petitioning Papa God to punish them ? Enquiring minds want to know.

Yes she is a relative of MukiKpu and MukinAmu.
God will punish her for trying to make it look like crime is the exclusive preserve of the Igbos.
Emeka commits crime abroad, it gets to front page with full speed, Adeleye does the same and it is relegated to the bottom of the crime section.

The mentality should be changed.
