Chairman of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, King Godwin Gininwa has condemned the kidnap of Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger Delta and Dean of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Ignatius Kattey describing it as an evil against God and humanity.
King Gininwa in a statement signed in Port Harcourt on Monday wondered what the perpetrators of such menace will achieve by abducting God’s own servant in their quest for material wealth.
He called on his abductors to release him unconditionally because Most Reverend Ignatius Kattey has spent all his life serving God and humanity and it is callous of such individuals to have kidnapped a servant of God of no mean repute, a second in-command of the Anglican Communion in Nigeria.
According to the Gbenemene Tai, it has become so sad, the present deteriorating security situation in the state adding that only a few weeks ago, another illustrious son of Ogoniland, Mr. Fred Igwe, the Honourable Commissioner for Sport escaped assassination, now Archbishop Kettey is been kidnapped.
King Gininwa therefore appealed to the Police and other security agencies in the state to intensify their search for the release of Most Reverend Ignatius Kattey while maintaining adequate security in Rivers State and called on all men of goodwill to also pray for divine intervention in the matter.
