—A three-year-
old boy, Victor
Offiong Edem, was
abducted by an
unknown person at the
Assemblies of God’s
Church 14, Nnamdi Azikiwe
Street, Calabar
South during Sunday
service, December 15,
2013.
The father of the boy, Mr
Offiong Edem, a
staff of College of Health
Technology, Calabar
said he took his family to
the church to
thank God for his goodness
to him in 2013.
He said after the service
which was also the
church’s Thanksgiving Day,
he went to work
and left Victor in company
of his wife,
Angelica and his other son,
Samuel but was
later informed that Victor
had gone missing.
He said: “I do work on
Sundays. Soon after
giving my offering, I went to
work leaving
behind my wife, my first
son and Victor in
the church only to be called
later that Victor
had gone missing.”
Mother of the missing boy
said after the
close of service, she had a
short discussion
with some church members
and after that “I
went to pick my bag where
I kept it not far
away from where I stood
and when I
turned back, I asked
Samuel where Victor
was and he said he could
not find him.”
She said obviously the
person was
monitoring her and the
children and as
soon as her eyes were
turned away from
the child, the person took
away the boy.
According to Angelica,“My
son is a healthy
and happy boy and I know
God will bring
him back to me no matter
where the person
may have taken him to.”
Pastor Chukwu Ekeke, head
pastor of the
church, said: “That is the
first time an
unfortunate incident like
this will happen in
this church and prayers
have been said and
I know God will certainly
bring back that
boy.”
A police source at the
Mbukpa police station
where the matter was
reported said
investigations are going on
to track down
the abductor.
