“Rev. Fr. Adorolo was on his way back from Auchi to his parish, St. Benedict Catholic Church, Okpella, when he was abducted by unknown gunmen at the bad spot near Okpella at about 6.00pm on Wednesday evening,” he said.
The bishop condemned the act, saying that the abductors committed an abominable act by keeping a priest who offers selfless service to God and humanity for ransom.
“The abductors have made contact with the church for ransom. The church does not pay ransom as it is not a profit-making organisation,” he said.
“The diocese is calling for an unconditional release of the priest. We are holding a mass for the unconditional release of the priest,” he added.
Spokesperson for the Edo State Police Command, DSP Moses Nkombe, who also confirmed the incident,  said that more operatives have been deployed to the region.
