 Troops have followed the attempted kidnap of most reverend Augustine O'Connor at the Olul del Sation Catholic Secretariat in most states. The director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Antema Watchakou announced these in a statement on Sunday. Brigadier-General Antema Watchakou set the bishop, his secretary and assistant secretary, as safe and unhurt. He added that troops will continue to deny freedom of action to members of the proscribed indigenous people of Biafra and eastern security network, and other criminal gangs operating within the sector, especially as the elections in Anambra State draws nearer during the Yuletide season.
