An American woman working as a Christian missionary in Kogi State, Rev. Phyllis Sortor has been abducted by unknown gunmen.
Sortor was kidnapped
overnight on Monday, Reuters reported quoting the website of the Free Methodist
Church and a security source on Tuesday.
“Early this morning we
received a report that Rev. Phyllis Sortor, our missionary in Nigeria, was
abducted from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo, Kogi State, by several
persons,” the church said.
A US State Department
official said authorities had heard the reports but could not make further
comments in the interest of privacy.
