A statement on the church’s website confirmed the incident:
Dear Friends,
Early this morning we received a report that Rev. Phyllis Sortor, our missionary in Nigeria, was abducted from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo, Kogi State, Nigeria by several persons. The U.S. Embassy has been notified, and the State Department and the FBI are working with local authorities to find and rescue her.
We are calling on the U.S. church to join together in prayer for Phyllis’ safety and speedy release.Photo Credit: fmcusa.org
