CWN Editor's Note: A priest was abducted from his parish in northeastern Nigeria on October 29, as the rash of kidnappings of Catholic clerics continues.
Father Thaddeus Tarhembe was taken captive early on Sunday morning when a gang invaded his rectory.
Police in the Taraba state, where the latest kidnapping occurred, announced last month that they had arrested 20 members of a gang devoted to the kidnapping “industry.”
