Acleric, Rev. Mike Obiora of the World Alive Church, Calabar, was reportedly abducted on Friday, along with his daughter.
It was gathered that an unidentified man who had recently moved into his house in the city was also abducted on Friday morning.
The spokesperson for the police command in the state, SP Irene Ugbo, confirmed the abductions.
According to Ms Ugbo, the cleric, his daughter, and the third victim were abducted at Victory Street, Satellite Town, in Calabar Municipality Local Government Area.
