Suspected Fulani herdsmen kidnap ECWA Christian Education Director Rev. Jen Moses, demand N100m ransom

The Director of the Evangelical Church
Winning All (International) Christian
Education Center, Rev. Jen Moses, has been
kidnapped by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
According to reports, the clergyman was
abducted between Jere and Bwari on the
outskirts of the Federal Capital Territory
while on an official meeting last week Friday
August 4th. His driver was shot at and
dropped off while his abductors whisked
him away to an undisclosed location.
Confirming the abduction of one of its
clergyman, the General Secretary of ECWA,
Yunusa Nmadu told the Northern City News
that seven Fulani boys carried out the
kidnap and they are currently demanding
N100 million ransom for his release.
“The kidnappers were seven Fulani boys;
they were below 20 years. The incident
happened on Friday night between 8 and
9pm. Reverend Jen Moses was on his way
from Jos to Abuja around Jere-Bwari Road.
The kidnappers are demanding N100m
ransom. The vehicle in which he was
traveling was also seen on the checkpoint
because his driver had a gunshot. The driver
was advised to obtain police report before
he was treated. I am aware that the incident
was reported in a police station somewhere
in Bwari Area Council. We will rather keep
what we have been doing now to ourselves
so that we don’t jeopardise investigation
and efforts being made to secure his
release. We will speak to the press after
securing his release.”
The Abuja Area command says it is yet to
receive any complaint from the church.
