“The incident took place at St Mulumba, Kurmin Sara, Kachia LGA, where Fr Kunat had been residing all along due to the insecurity situation.

“We solicit for the prayerful support of the faithful and indeed all men and women of goodwill that God Almighty will take control of the situation. preserve our priest, and bring him back to us in peace.”

Hayab described the situation as sad, noting that the said priest was picked up by the hoodlums at Kurmin Sara area of Kachia LGA.

He said, “It is a sad situation because he is the priest of Idom but was picked at his village Kurmin Sara in Kachia LGA. It’s a very sad situation because many things are happening in the state unreported.
