Nigerian Pastor, Hosea Akuchi, Shot Dead in his Apartment, Wife Kidnapped; Attackers Reportedly Demand $14,000 Ransom | BCNN1

The brutal attack happened in central Nigeria at Nasara Baptist Church in Ragasa, which is about 559 miles (900 kilometres) from the country’s largest city of Lagos.

The attackers, invaded the church grounds at about 1am on Monday and forced their way into Pastor Hosea Akuchi’s apartment before murdering him and taking his wife, Mrs Talatu Hosea Akuchi.

A source told the The Guardian Nigeria: “The abductors said we need to pay them N5 million ($13,866 USD) before they can release her to us. They call a family phone line to tell us that heartless talk after killing the reverend in cold blood. How can this injustice continue in a country like Nigeria without any serious measures in place to check the activities of these people. How can we become prisoners in our own country as law abiding citizens?”
