Cleric’s wife, 3 children missing

Wife and three children of an Abuja-based cleric, Pastor Francis Irabor, founder of Great Calling Ministry, GCM, located in Mabusi Area, in Abuja, have been reported missing. Mrs. Augusta Irabor with three children Sarah, 5; Rhoda, 4, and David, 2, were said to have left their residence at Utako Area in Abula at 5p.m. to an unknown destination since February 6,2015 and have not returned . The cleric, Mr. Francis Irabvor, who was in United Kingdom at the time of the incident, directed friends and relatives to report the disappearance to Utako police station immediately, while he hurriedly returmed to Nigeria. All attempts to locate his family members’ whereabouts had been futile. Concerned friends, family members, church members and the police had all been involved in the search for the missing Irabors and the cleric is further distressed because he was kidnapped in his Prado sports utility vehicle late last year by unknown gunmen on Lokoja Express road, Edo State, when he was returning from a funeral of his in-law. But with God’s intervention he later escaped after going through hell in the hands of his adaptors. Pastor Irabor, who said he had been receiving threat calls from unknown sources before his own kidnap, appealed to security agents and Nigerians to help locate the whereabouts of his family and report to the nearest police station.
