A worshipper in one of the church branches  who craved for anonymity said: “You know the catholic is a bible-believing church. 
“And we believe in the power of prayers with the almighty God on the throne. Our prayers will torment those holding father Idahosa and force them to release him.


“So, these prayers from our sincere hearts will be answered by God’s grace because the church has resolved that it will not pay ransom for any priest or church worker”, the worshipper stated.
Father Idahosa who is a lecturer in the major seminary in Uhiele, Ekpoma, was

However, the State police spokesman, DSP. Chidi Nwabuzor, said he was yet to be briefed.
