The Enugu State Police Command says it has commenced a massive manhunt of abductors of a Catholic Priest, Rev.-Fr. Theophilus Ndulue.
This is coming barely two weeks after Rev.-Fr Arinze Madu, Deputy Rector, Queen of the Apostle Spiritual Year Seminary, Imezi Owa in Ezeagu Local Government Area, was released by his abductors.
According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Ebere Amaraizu, Ndulue was abducted by unidentified gunmen on his way home along Amansiodo Road in Ndiagu-Oghe in Ezeagu Local Government Area on Friday evening while returning from a pastoral council meeting.
Amaraizu while confirming the incident, described the abduction as unfortunate. He, however, said that police would leave no stone unturned to secure release the catholic priest unhurt.
Quote:“We have launched a massive trail for the rescue and release of the priest from his abductors as soon as possible. I assure the good people of Enugu and the Catholic family that we will get at them and bring them to book.Amaraizu said that Ndulue, who was the Parish Priest of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Ihuonyia, Amansiodo, was initially kidnapped alongside the Chair lady, Catholic Women Organisation in his parish, Mrs Stella Nwodo. He said that Nwodo was later released by the abductors.
“However, we are circumspect on the operation in order to ensure that the Catholic priest is released unhurt,’’ he assured.

Abducted Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Theophilus Ndulue, has been released. Police spokesman in Enugu State SP Ebere Amaraizu said on Sunday that Ndulue reunited with the Catholic Diocese of Enugu.
Quote:“I have learnt that he has been released and reunited with the church. However, I do not have more details concerning the release now,’’ the police spokesman said.
Rev. Fr. Benjamin Achi, Director of Social Communication of Catholic Diocese of Enugu, was not available to provide more light on Ndulue’s release. But a Facebook post by a Catholic faithful, Nkechi Onyewuchi said Ndulue was rescued between Eke and Egede in Udi Local Government Area.
Ndulue was abducted on his way home from a pastoral council meeting by unidentified gunmen along Amansiodo Road in Ndiagu-Oghe, Ezeagu Local Government Area on Friday evening. He was kidnapped along with Catholic Women Organisation (CWO) President of his Parish.
However, the CWO President was released an hour later while Fr. Theophilus was held hostage. Ndulue is the Parish Priest of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Ihuonyia in Amansi
