Andimi, was declared missing on Saturday, January 3rd and his disappearance followed a foiled attack on Michika LGA by Boko Haram insurgents some days before he was abducted.
Days after his abduction, the clergyman, in a video clip released by the insurgents, asked Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa, to rescue him stating at the time that he would be out, but if God decides not to get him out that they should look after his children.
