From Nigeria-
A priest of the Church of Nigeria
(Anglican Communion), Anthony Jata’u, has been killed by bandits in
Gusau, Zamfara State, on the way to his new station in Katsina State.
Multiple sources close to the family
told our correspondent on Tuesday that Jata’u, from Southern Kaduna, was
abducted last Thursday alongside his wife, three kids and two
sisters-in-law.
He was posted to the new station by the Sokoto Diocese of the church.
One of the sources said the reverend,
who attended the Crowther Graduate Theological Seminary, Abeokuta, Ogun
State, was killed and his body dumped by the roadside by his assailants,
who went away his family members.
“The bandits shot at the car he was
driving and dragged him and the occupants out as the vehicle skidded off
the road. His body was recovered two days later, but his family members
were taken away,” the source said.
