An Italian priest from the Rome
diocese was kidnapped yesterday in Nigeria, sources said Friday,
adding that the foreign ministry's crisis unit has already been
alerted and the Rome prosecutor's office anti-terror unit has
opened a probe. Sources said the priest was stopped with four
other people on his way to Benin City in southern Nigeria
yesterday. They were stopped by an armed group that stole all
their belongings and abducted the priest who has been on a
mission to Nigeria for three years.
