The wife of Pastor Chris Aniamaka, of Dominion City, Kpirikpiri, Abakaliki, in Ebonyi State, has been kidnapped by gunmen at her residence in Abakaliki.

The abducted Pastor Ifeanyi Aniamaka, was trailed in a yellow bus while driving her KIA Rio car, after which she was intercepted at her residence on Onwe Nkam Street, Democracy Estate, Abakaliki and kidnapped.

The husband of the victim, Pastor Aniamaka, has urged the church to pray for his wife’s safety and also has called on security agents across the state to ensure the speedy release of his wife from the hands of the abductors.

He said: “This incident came as a shock to me. We just finished our thanksgiving service for the year. My wife decided to drive the children home and they were intercepted at our residence.”

“From the account of my children, who were instructed to come down from the vehicle before the kidnappers took my wife away, the kidnappers followed them until they got to our residence at Democracy Estate. They threatened my wife with a gun and told my children to get down from the car before they drove away,” Aniamaka added.

The kidnappers have reportedly made contact with the family, and are demanding N20 million ransom.
