MASSOB Group's Leaders Abducts Catholic Priest As Hostage by marked10(m): 5:24am On Sep 17, 2015
Leaders and members of Movement For the Actualisation of Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) reportedly held the priest in charge of St Luanga Catholic Church, Opoko in Onitsha, Anambra state, hostage.

Apparently, they wanted a clergy man to bless the 16th year anniversary celebration of the group. The Priest was rescued by the timely intervention of men of the police force from Zone 9.

Confirming their arrest to newsmen, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 9, Umuahia, Akila Usman Gwary said “In Anambra, 35 suspects were arrested. 18 of them were arrested from St. Luanga Catholic Church, Opoko in Onitsha, Anambra state. These people were holding the parish priest hostage, forcing him to conduct an anniversary mass for them. And they were all in their uniforms, with their flags. They were rounded up there and were picked from the church by the police.”

Adding that “These were the only people that were picked by the police. There was no loss of life, there was no reason for exchange of firing, there was no reason to fire anybody. The people were arrested, taken into custody and have been charged to court this morning. There was no issue of 200 people dead.” - See more at: http://www.exlinklodge.com/2015/09/massob-groups-leaders-abducts-catholic.html#sthash.pUGqt5Mp.dpuf

Holding a Cathlolic priest hostage in the very church where he officiates? There's something not right about this story. Why would the Police go to a church to arrest people seeking to be blessed? Even Cathlolic priests bless armed robbers who come for blessing. That is their duty. What exactly are they going to charge them to court with? Wearing Biafran uniforms? The Nigerian Police know how to waste tax payers money and court time for nothing
