Kaya, 05 April, 2022 / 10:13 pm (ACI Africa).
Prayers are being sought for the safe release of an American Catholic Nun reportedly abducted from Burkina Faso’s Kaya Diocese on the night of Monday, April 4.
In a statement issued Tuesday, April 5, the Local Ordinary of Kaya Diocese, Bishop Théophile Nare shares about the abduction of Sr. Suellen Tennyson, a member of the Congregation of the Marianites of Holy Cross, aged 83.
“On the night of Monday 4 to Tuesday 5 April 2022, Unidentified Armed Men (UAM) visited the community of nuns in Yalgo Parish of the Diocese of Kaya. They abducted Sister Suellen Tennyson, from the Congregation of Marianite Sisters of the Holy Cross,” Bishop Nare says in the statement shared with ACI Africa.
The Catholic Bishop adds, “Sr. Suellen Tennyson was taken to an unknown destination by her kidnappers who, before leaving, vandalized rooms (and) damaged the community vehicle, which they attempted to take with them.”
“Until the search for her is successful, we remain in communion of prayer for the release of Sr. Suellen Tennyson,” Bishop Nare implores.
