Enwere condemned the spate of kidnapping in the country, urged President Buhari and security agencies to sit up and act now or never.
Reacting to the abduction of a bus filled with Christians from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Kaduna Province 1, who were said to be going for a prayer work in Kafanchan, the Christian leader said: “Our hearts bleed that a bus-load of Christians from RCCG from Kaduna Province 1 going for a prayer work to Kafanchan was abducted on their way. The incident of kidnapping is a case too many and has left bitter tastes in our mouths.
“The government must rise now and take responsibility of the security challenges going on in the country. How could citizens be taken away just like that without a trace?”
