Police Rescue Kidnapped American Missionary

 

Rev. Phyllis Sortor, the kidnapped American woman Missionary, has been rescued following by a combined effort by a team of police, military and SSS.

According to Leadership newspaper, Sortor, 87, was rescued at about 8:30 pm on Friday at a spot between Ero and Emi woro communities and was immediately taken to the state police headquarters in Lokoja.
A source within the police said that the American cleric was sighted by a lady who immediately raised an alarm which attracted other people around. Police later came to escort the woman.
All efforts to speak or take the photograph of the woman by journalists were frustrated by American embassy officials who insisted on going with her to Abuja. Sortor was reported to appear hale, hearty and in good condition.
