From Ifeoma Ejiofor
The two Rev. Sisters who were abducted on 7th January, 2025 have regained their freedom.
The news of their release by their abductors was contained in a press statement signed by Sr Maria Sobenna Ikeotuonye(IHM), Secretary General, Immaculate Heart Generalate, Onitsha, Anambra State.
The statement which was addressed to all priests, religious and lay faithful read this, “I bring to your notice in joy that our sisters Vincentia Maria Nwankwo and Grace Mariaette Okoli who were kidnapped in the evening of Tuesday, 7th January, 2025 have been released unconditionally and in good health.
“We thank God for all your prayers and support all through these rough and uncertain days. May God for ever be blessed through Mary our mother.”
Attempts to get the police angle of the development did not yield any positive dividend as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Anambra State Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga (SP) could not take his call when contacted by our correspondent.
