In the early hours of February 22, armed men kidnapped two Catholic priests in Nigeria. The perpetrators broke into the rectory in Gweda-Mallam, in the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, in the northeast of Nigeria, where the two priests, Father Matthew David Dutsemi, of the diocese of Yola, and Father Abraham Saummam, of the diocese of Jalingo, stayed.

The Diocese of Yola released a statement asking for prayers for the release of the two priests. There is no news about the kidnapping and the development of the investigation of the case so far. The whereabouts and the conditions of Father Matthew and Father Abraham are unknown.ű
