Archbishop Peter Akinola wrote that ”˜the spate of kidnapping’ was a ”˜worrisome trend.’ He expressed relief that three-year-old Margaret Hill had been released unharmed, but asked ”˜How long will this go on?’

    Thank you, Lord for her deliverance.

    I had a Romanian student at the boarding school were I taught 2+ years ago whose parents went to work for a petro company in the Delta region. They brought him to our school rather than put him at risk. The kidnapping has been going on for a long time.
