Evil People Took Father Thomas: A Sad Story

In a faraway place in Nigeria, bad people took Father Thomas away. Father Thomas works at a church school in a place called Ivanokpodi.

These bad people want a lot of money to let Father Thomas go home. They want N200 million. That’s a really big number, which means they are asking for a lot!

Father Thomas was very brave. When the bad people came to the school, they first caught two students. But Father Thomas told them, “Take me instead. Let the students go home.”

The bad people called some important church people on Monday. These church people are led by Bishop Gabriel Dunia. The bad people told them, “Give us N200 million, or we won’t let Father Thomas go.”

The bad people called and then hung up the call. They are waiting for the church to talk about paying the money.

The church hasn’t started talking with the bad people yet. We don’t know if they will talk about paying the money.

The church’s communication director, Father Peter Egielewa, said it’s true about the money the bad people want.

This scary thing happened on a Sunday evening. The bad people came to the school with loud noises from their guns. They took Father Thomas, but before they did, he begged them to let the students stay safe.

Now, the church is asking everyone to pray. They want Father Thomas to come back safe and sound.
