Nigerian troops, on Sunday, foiled an attempt to kidnap the Catholic Bishop of Orlu Diocese, Most Reverend Augustine Ukwuoma at the Orlu Diocesan Catholic Secretariat, BSC Road, Orlu Imo State, IgbereTV reports.

The Catholic Bishop was saved after troops responded to a distress call at about 2:30am on Sunday 31 October 2021.

A statement from Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director, Army Public Relations, read:

“TROOPS FOIL KIDNAP OF BISHOP OF ORLU CATHOLIC DIOCESE

Troops conducting Exercise GOLDEN
DAWN Sector 3 have foiled an attempted kidnap and robbery of Most Reverend Augustine Ukwuoma at the Orlu Diocesan Catholic Secretariat, BSC Road, Orlu Imo State.

The troops in response to a distress call at about 2:30am on Sunday 31 October 2021, swiftly moved to the scene forcing the assailants to take to their heels thereby abandoning their mission. The Bishop, his Secretary and Assistant Secretary are safe and unhurt.

Troops will continue to deny freedom of action to members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) and other criminal gangs operating within the sector especially as the elections in Anambra State draws nearer and during the yuletide season.

Members of the public are advised to report suspicious movement of criminals as well as hide outs of the outlawed IPOB/ESN to law enforcement agencies as the group is only out to intimidate, steal and kidnap law-abiding citizens for ransom.

Let's all remember that Igbo land was peaceful till army was invited to Igbo land

It's not that crime was high , army and police entered and crime increased the facts are there to back this up

Make with this information what you wish

Again they blame ESN. Why didn't they foil the kidnap of military personnels from NDA, when "bandits" attacked the place? Vseless terr0rists in uniforms.

Poorly written script by DSS..

Is it the Bishop or Army that is Lying?

What has DSS got to do with this, I hate it when we play the same card Northeasterners played that brought them where they are today.

For this one, kudos to Nigerian Army. Great job.

It doesn't matter ...show the link and shame me na

The question is why same army can't foil the kidnap in their headquarters

Since when did fulani love igbos more than their people

AfganEASTarners will tell you it was Fulani herdsmen


They only do good things

Every bad things happening in AfganEASTan, Army, police, DSS and Fulani with cow must be responsible.

You are funny ain't you?
They are not harrassing people they murder people in cold blood and blame it on aliens.
Sometimes they castrate their captured victims and toture them to death the videos are all over the internet.

Why would IPOB come for the priest? Poor script from the northern vipers aka Fulani Jihadists.

Show Link na

Scripted

Nigerian army now goes to people's houses during a kidnap attempt

Either the vigilante foiled it or the bishop escaped

Don't the believe same people that lie daily

mrvitalis:

Show Link na

Your phone don't have google search?

Stupidd Igbos... Watch and see how the useless zombies supporters claims it is DSS.
Operations kill and go is the Code name.

Why they didn't call ESN created by kanu to protect ndiyebo ? Nyamiri is so stupid for not called their ESN .why called Fulani army to defend you

Ipob-ESN - UGM. are the Boko Harams of SE
God forbid that ESN-UGM creat another IDP camps in Igbo land just like in North-East.

Vigilante foil it or Bishop escape is not the important thing now. The most important thing is the bishop is safe. If they had succeeded useless urchins like you will be shouting it is Fulani or Dss that are responsible for the kidnap.

Which school did you go to again ?

Oga I said show me link of unrest in the east before army was deployed to the south east before hope called army simple

Education Sha

I guess the bishop didn't support Biafra, and they want to teach him a lesson
