Unidentified gunmen suspected to be terrorists invaded Kudendan, a community in Kaduna State, around 1.00 a.m. on Tuesday and kidnapped a Catholic Church priest, Reverend Father Joseph Akeke.

Sounds of gunshots rent the air as residents scampered for cover thinking it was from the security operatives protecting the community.
