Armed robbers who waylaid 13 Bishops of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star on Episcopal tour of some states of Nigeria pleaded for prayers for them not to be caught.
The incident happened Wednesday evening on a federal highway in Benue State enroute Abuja, according to leader of the team, Archbishop Benjamin Ogwutum.
Narrating the experience to journalists, the clergyman explained that they needed to spend the night in Abuja, which reason they decided to drive through the evening.
“As we left North Bank area of Benue State, we came in contact with men who initially looked like Fulani Herdsmen. They were on operation right on the highway.
“They stopped the vehicle we travelled in. Terrified, we called on the name of the Father… On hearing that, one amongst them, more like their leader, came and said .. ‘oh free them they are people of God. We have no business with you.’
“The same man turned to us confessed that they were armed robbers but that they need our prayers.”
