Priestess and worshippers abducted by
gunmen while performing rituals for water
goddess in Enugu river

Kidnappers suspected to be herdsmen have
abducted an Ezenwanyi (priestess) and three
worshippers at a river in Obehe Orba in Udenu
Local Government Area of Enugu State.


Chijinkem Ugwuanyi, an Enugu media
personality, who confirmed the incident said the
gunmen also abducted four local farmers in the
same community.


According to him, the incident happened on
Wednesday night, April 16, 2025.


“The first 4 persons were kidnapped at Ohebe
river together with Ezenwanyi, who took them
there to perform or do their usual water and #
Fanta work and Fulani herdsmen kidnapped all
of them before the water goddess. The other 4
persons went for their cashew business inside
their cashew farms and they were also
kidnapped,” he wrote.


Meanwhile, the kidnappers contacted the families of the victims and demanded a ransom of N50 million but later reduced it to N15million.
According to Senator Okey Ezea, representing
Enugu North Senatorial District, “Kidnappers and
Fulani herdsmen have taken over Enugu North
Senatorial Zone including Nsukka.”

Ike o bughi aka Ezenwanyi.

Very good

Lol

😂😂😂

Look at the comments up there and you will know why Nigeria is the way it is today, so they kidnapped human beings and someone wrote very good some are lol and putting laughing emojis...

Imagine laughing at the victims because they do not share religion or tribe with you, yet your president who is supposed to protect them is vacationing in Europe and the killer herdsmen are not even blamed

Sad.

The goddess works with tthe highest bidder i guess, or why couldn't she deal with those tormenting her faithfuls?

Owh,
So the didn't learn from AKWA OKUKO?
Serves the worshippers right....
Nevertheless, Kidnapping is a menace to the society...

Death to all criminal herdsmen

W

The gods have abandon them

Funniest thing I've seen today

So, Ezenwanyi couldn't disappear? Wonders financial crisis!

Funny as it may sound 😂😂😂

Let all state arm themselves,in no time state police will implement itself even the top politicians who suppose do so are playing LUDO GAME with it

I'm not sure the gods will be happy with this development.

Ah ah!!...priestess no summon her god to do something?...abi her god dey vex say priestess never tender sacrifice?

It's not funny please

I'm not supposed to laugh but this is hilarious AF! In a way it wouldn't be if it were a Pastor or Imam and their congregation. Probably because as a culture we've ascribe a sort of potency to traditional religion that it really doesn't have.

I pray for their well-being and safe return.

My country!

your pastor don’t disappear either.

All these ritual na scam... They always fear Ak47. Guys, choose your ritual wisely. Israel is not stupid for developing something better than Ak47. It is the only thing that can save you from attackers and invaders.

Give us state police oh

Maybe they will quit that religion when they finally gain freedom because the gods don f**k up

northern hunters strikes again

Now the villagers can see that what they call God, can't even protect the person closer to it..

I hope the Ezewanyi get 15million.

Once them allow her go,she sef go run leave goddess

The gods are not left out. The gods must be crazy.

Is it every kidnappers that are herdsmen now?
No aboki on nairaland should think I am supporting them, I hate fulani herdsmen ,
When they contacted the families, u will know if their tongue sounds aboki or not

I strongly believe that the govt doesn't want this kidnapping thing to end!!
