Kidnapped Delta Catholic Priests Regain Freedom by BetterChurch: 2:21am On May 05, 2023
The two Catholic priests who were kidnapped last Saturday by unknown gunmen at Agbarha-Otor town, in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, have regained their freedom from their abductors.

The priests, Rev. Fr. Raphael Ogigbah, who is the parish priest of St. Francis Catholic Parish Agbarha-Otor, Catholic Diocese of Warri; and Rev. Fr. Kunav Chochos, a missionary priest of the Schoenstartt Fathers, reportedly regained their freedom from the abductors on Thursday and have since reunited with the leadership of the Catholic Diocese of Warri.

A priest in the diocese, who confirmed the development to journalists, did not disclose whether ransom was paid to secure their release.

It was however gathered that the abductors had earlier demanded N20m for their release.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, told PUNCH Metro that the command took security measures to ensure that the abducted priests regain their freedom.

Ogigbah and Chochos were kidnapped in front of Michael and Cecilia Ibru University, Agbarha-Otor near Ughelli last Saturday.

Chochos, who works and lives in Ibadan, Oyo State, was in Delta to visit his friend, Ogigbah, at Agbarha-Otor.

Kidnapping has started again.

If no ransom was paid, they would av remained there.
