‘Please Save My Life’ – Abducted Zamfara Catholic Priest Cries In New Video

Mikah Suleiman, a parish priest of St. Raymond Catholic Church in Damba, Gusau, Zamfara State, who was abducted, has cried out for help.

He made a desperate plea for help in a 51-second video clip circulating on social media.

In the video, Suleiman, dressed in a blue T-shirt and boxer shorts, is seen sitting on the ground, pleading for assistance to secure his release.

The priest was kidnapped by bandits in the early hours of Saturday, June 22, from the rectory within the church premises in Gusau, the state capital.

He said: “I am pleading for help to be freed from this place. They (bandits) told me that they don’t keep people here for long. People don’t stay for up to a week.

“They told me that killing a person is not difficult for them. They said they are just helping me by keeping me; please, I am asking for help. Please save my life in the name of God. Look at my head; look at my legs. I was tied to a robe, and I am the only one in this place.

“Normally, if they kidnap somebody, they don’t waste time. If ransom is not paid immediately, they kill the person. Please, for God’s sake, help me.”
